Bubble Photography

Bubble Photography is the art of shooting images of subjects that are submerged in Fizzy Water, Soda or Lemonade.   The air Bubbles in the fluid adhere to the subject of choice giving the image a beautiful glassy look, with a deep and interesting texture. Bubble Art is a new unique style of photography which is taking over the photography media sites such as Instagram, Streamzoo and Tadaa.  The technique was originally discovered by myself,  Jo Millington @upyanose in the summer of 2012, I am renown for my Bubble Photography and I was soon to be known as 'The Bubble Queen'. The technique is fun and immensely rewarding, a lot of fellow photographers, both amateur and professional, have already followed the Step-by-Step Guide in this blog and the images that I have seen have been amazing.

After the initial Discovery that soda bubbles can stick to subjects in a way that can be aesthetically pleasing, I have been working out different techniques and have had a lot of ideas that did work and many more that didn't.  The purpose of this blog is to give you an easy Step-by-Step Guide which allows you to easily follow to produce your own Bubble Art, there are many tips and techniques that are not obvious when you first try to produce this effect. Also within this blog I aim to give you the knowledge of what to do with your raw images, you will find tips on how to edit your shots using iPhone apps and how you can maximize the exposure your image receives, using sites such as Instagram and Streamzoo.

To produce your very own Bubble art you will need to have a lot of time and patience, so don't think that you are going to come up with a masterpiece in 5 minutes, Bubble Art can not be rushed, you need to set aside a couple of hours in order to produce an image that is ready for editing and the editing stage can take anything from 5 minutes to 5 hours, depending on the accuracy and style that you have chosen. So if you have the time, give it a try!

This Cherry image was shot in my kitchen in 2012 and it was one of my earlier pieces. The image was taken using my iphone. I have used this cherry image and edited in many different ways.  This Blog will give you the knowledge needed for you to be able to edit your own images in a similar way, but be creative, add your spin and interpretation.
