A few of the processes spoken about here had to<br />
be repeated, worked on, or modified because they<br />
did not look right. It was only then that the layers<br />
were merged. I was trying to create the look of the<br />
Oreos falling into and around the glass while the<br />
milk was being poured, so I had to try to imagine<br />
what it would look like and how the droplets would<br />
fall.<br />
IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WOULD DO<br />
DIFFERENTLY IF YOU WERE TO RECREATE THIS<br />
SHOT?<br />
One thing that would have made the shoot easier<br />
(and a lot less messy!) would have been to have<br />
a helper to pour the milk while I concentrated on<br />
taking the photos and being able to direct them.<br />
I would also have liked to have had a glass tabletop<br />
to give a bit of a reflection.<br />
WHAT TIPS CAN YOU SHARE WITH READERS<br />
FOR CAPTURING A PHOTO LIKE THIS?<br />
Don’t be afraid to try something different in<br />
photography. Look for a concept you would like to<br />
try, research how the shot can be achieved (don’t<br />
be scared to ask other photographers how they<br />
captured their photos), and then go for it.<br />
Although this was quite a simple shoot, I would not<br />
have got as good a result without pre-planning,<br />
and the setup would have taken longer, so I advise<br />
not to rush into doing a photo like this.<br />
