Dropology: The Book and Solo Exhibition of Liquid Art Photography
Book Announcement - "Dropology: The Liquid Art Photography" by Keith Michael Cossey" presents 50 of Cossey's best liquid art images in an 8x10 format with a discussion of the creative and technical aspects of high-speed, liquid art photography and a brief history. To preview and order your copy please click here.
"Dropology" presents the latest in Cossey's ongoing exploration of creative and innovative approaches to fine art photography. Through the magic of high speed photography the show captures the amazing but fleeting forms created as different liquid drops fall and collide. The transient, sculptural forms resembling blown glass are normally not visible to the human eye. It is only through the creative processes and techniques of high-speed photography that the action is frozen by a flash of light and the forms revealed. The process involves accurately aiming and releasing drops with precise timing and co-ordination of flash, focus and shutter release. Incredible variations are achieved by playing with the type, number of drops, drop size, drop frequency, colour, viscosity and surface tension of the liquids used. The shapes are captured as they naturally form and are not altered.
