Water Illusion top and below

Описание: In this episode of Getting To Grips, we break down how to create a cinematic water illusion in studio — without using real water.

This pre-recorded session takes you step-by-step through building an underwater look above and below the subject, using controlled lighting, reflective surfaces, and creative light shaping techniques. You’ll see how Mylar, directional light, and careful exposure choices come together to produce movement, depth, and atmosphere.

Featuring models Khanyisile and Rubina, this session focuses on:

Creating believable water effects in studio

Lighting Black skin tones accurately in blue environments

Using reflection and movement to sell the illusion

Controlling highlights and contrast for a cinematic finish

Building the setup live so it’s repeatable for your own shoots

Whether you’re a photographer, content creator, or lighting enthusiast, this episode will help you push past flat backgrounds and start creating story-driven visuals with intention.
