What's up creatives this is Tom, so I've
discovered my pretty much my favorite
Instagram account in the last few
days you absolutely need to check him
out his name is Jordi Koalitic, I'm
probably completely butchering that name
but I'll link his Instagram down below
in the comments now he's got some really
interesting concepts on his Instagram
most of them center around sort of
household photography or household items
and then sort of transforming those into
really interesting photography concepts
so I thought would be interesting is to
try and sort of recreate some of his
photos in this video just because I
think it's a really good learning
experience I'm also gonna throw in some
of my own ideas as well so hopefully by
the end of this video we'll be seeing
stuff like this like this and like this
and then I say hopefully because I've
obviously filmed this intro in advance
so who knows what they're going to turn
out like but without further ado let's
get into it
all right so it's gonna start off with
the first of the three photos that we're
shooting today, so most of the b-roll is
just pretty static I just have my camera
set up on a tripod here the first one I
tried is actually like slinky
photography so you basically take the
photo through a slinky pull it out to
its full extent and you get this kind of
really interesting sort of parallax
effect and I think in retrospect I
probably would have shot this a little
bit less wide-open kind of an f/4 or /f5
rather than down at f/2.8 but it did end
up looking pretty cool and I especially
liked these shots the way we got
gatecrashed by the little dog so you
kind of had the slinky effect along with
the little dog checking it out as well
quite a nice little shot to start off
with then we come to my favorite which
is actually sort of water bottle
photography so I actually took just a
standard water bottle and I cut the end
off both ends and basically I just use
that as a sort of almost like a lens
hood and you just kind of get this
really cool
warping effect and then I just had my
friend sort of pour water over his hand
to sort of bring a bit of dynamism to
the shot instead of just having a hand out
kind out super shallow depth-of-field
but focused on the water point you have
to just take this over and over until
you get a nice sort of water ripple
effect but when you do pull it off it
does look really great water is such an
interesting photography subject if you
can shoot using some water it really is
just a fun photography exercise to do
and then finally we have this sort of
strange plastic parallax effect now I
think this is the one I'm least keen on
throughout this shoot but it would did
make for an interesting effect I sort of
found this like hatch-y plastic almost
like some sort of like recycling wrap
basically what I did is just again but
just sort of wrapped it around the
camera like it was a lens hood basically
just use that to sort of help as they're
almost like a leading line into the
photo having a subject in the center of
the frame and that at the end and again
it just gives an interesting visual
effect whereas with this normally you
just would have been a static portrait
with a soft depth of field you actually
have just something additional to add
interest to the frame again not
something you're gonna want to do all
the time but just an interesting effect
all the same there we go guys that is
the video on this one hopefully you did
find it entertaining, interesting
personally I just love the way that
these sort of everyday items can be
really transformed into amazing
photography props definitely check out
Jordi's Instagram I will link that down
below in the description and I'll catch
you in the next one
