One of the easiest ways to get great splash photos is by back lighting the shot. In this video Gavin Hoey shows you exactly how it’s done. However, if you are photographing something solid, back lighting will result in a silhouette and that’s where a combination of front light and a bit of Photoshop skills will come in very handy.
