Cool photography techniques or ideas

hi Luca. Don't use cornstarch and food dye as it'll clump into a mess. Try using powdered pigments instead, but be aware that it's quite fine so it'll end up going everywhere. Keep all surroundings and equipment well covered and wear a mask.

Have a look at some of Karl Taylor's tutorials in this forum. He has some examples of what you're after.

 

Thank you very much for your answer. Are there any powdered pigments you would recommend?

 

i've just used the cheapest stuff off amazon. it worked just fine.

 

do you know any methods of making it "explode" like in the link i shared?

 

i put the powder in a large plastic bottle and turned it upside down on a flat surface to get it to billow out. the rest was photoshop and a lot of compositing.
