Floating Objects

Have you ever wondered how to photograph floating objects? Well, now is your chance to find out — and try it for yourself!

Problem-solving and creative thinking are important skills to have for this week’s challenge — you’ll need to think outside the box to come up with solutions for the image you want to create.

If there’s one piece of advice we could share for this week’s challenge, it would be not to let Photoshop limit your creativity. If you don’t have Photoshop or aren’t yet skilled in post-production, you can achieve creative results straight out of camera, as we proved in one of our Youtube videos, where Karl replicated an old digital image without using Photoshop.

Instead, think about what you’re trying to achieve and how you can overcome any challenges. If you’re fixing your subject in position, acrylic rods and thin wire are just a few of the methods Karl uses to photograph floating objects. Alternatively, if you’re shooting a moving subject, remember to use a fast flash duration.

The classes below are a great starting point if you’re looking for more tips and information, and you can also find more classes throughout our site too.
