Asteroids – a personal project

Space has always fascinated me.

The beauty of vast solar systems glimpsed through super telescopes and the idea of unchartered planets make for great sources of creative inspiration. So, for me, a photographic project exploring this theme seemed only natural.

Asteroids is the first instalment of a longterm studio project on the Solar System and started with an experimental test shoot bringing together water, ink, ice and coloured gels.

Collision and interaction between liquids is an ongoing theme in my work. I seek to present as permanent what the eye itself can never retain. Whilst unable to control each event in its minutest detail, meticulous planning means that I capture an instant of time never to be repeated; a fraction of a second earlier or later with the shutter and the result would undoubtedly be different.

Liquid Triptychs – a personal project

These great Liquid Triptychs are part of a personal project from Jonathan and you can see more of them on his Behance portfolio.

Kirlian Photography

We thought you’d like to have a sneak peek at this shot before it goes live tomorrow on our Behance Account.

The series was done using traditional Kirlian Photography techniques, where the electrical ‘aura’ of a charged item is recorded on a piece of film (remember film, and happy trips to the lab and excitement when it all came out!), placed on a discharge plate. Photoshop was not involved in the production of this series; they are all straight scans. The intensity of the ‘aura’ can be controlled and changed on the amplitude and wave form which is put through the object, which will also have the by-product of altering the colours, though not in an entirely predictable way!
