When the Glass Tips Over

In this film, the team from StudioCommunity, Albin Hanstein, Knut Berwanger and Andreas Ley show FotoTV viewers how to photograph a special effects shot of a wine glass just as it tips over.

The team specializes in tips and tricks for eye-catching photography applications and today they give an exciting and satisfying demonstration, including tips and techniques on how to effectively use simple materials such as an aquarium, a slat of wood, air tube, tape and sewing thread without the use of image manipulation software.

The most important aspects are indeed building up the set so that it appears as if the glass is tipping over, when in fact it is actually hanging upside down while air bubbles are being blown into it. The striking red and blue filter gels add a stylistic touch and give the overall photo a unique look.
