Soap Film Photography

After researching how artists have made contrasts or collision in their work, I came across work that were photographs of water colliding with light.

Using water as a starting point as rain had affected my sketchbook drawings in the city. This technique is an interesting way to get results that cannot be controlled.

I wanted to take it a step develop this idea and found amateur photographers that have photographed soap films.

To create a soap film you mix water with washing up liquid, make a metal circle or square out of wire and place it into the mixture. It should come out the same effect as a child's bubble blower, you place it against a black background and shine a light at a 45 degree angle. Together they produce brightly coloured and constantly moving shapes until the mixture gets thin and bursts.
