Liquid Energy
This is an image from a recent set of studio images I created for a still life theme of "Still life + liquid = Impact". I wanted to show that the addition of liquid to every day still life objects can be made more interest and have greater visual impact if liquid is added.
The Bananas were actually hanging downwards and water was thrown at them using a small plastic cup and various exposures captured using strobe lighting. A selection of the best shaped splashes were then composited together in Photoshop. The hand shaped splash seems to be supporting the bananas which influenced my decision to rotate the image on its side and create an almost gravity free feeling. I'm also a fan of the film 'The Abyss' and the CGI water effects used.
