Dropping colored milk into water and photographing the effects is nothing new – these experiments have existed for decades and can yield some very interesting abstract images. The technique can be brought into the “mad scientist” realm by switching gears slightly – using UV flashlights and fluorescing ink, we can make it glow! The ingredients […]

Portrait photographers learn how to control light using flashes and modifiers, and become experts in getting the most from natural light. Light is an electromagnetic wave, and the frequency […]
