I Turned A Kiddie Pool Into A Professional Studio Spending Just $30, And The Photos Turned Out Better Than I Expected
I recently did a photo shoot using only a cheap kiddie pool, black backdrop and fake flowers. All and all this shoot cost me under $30 and provided a unique addition to my portfolio. Included are also some behind the scenes photos taken from an iphone to give extra insight.
Shot on a Nikon D750 w/ 50mm 1.4g lens also used a cheap $7 prism from ebay to manipulate some photos.

It really seems to me that the technology is having an unexpected effect on young people. It seems to me like it is getting their creative juices flowing and they are coming up with incredibly genius art forms! I love it!!

I read that the 30$ budget includes the swimming pool, backdrop and flowers but I also see a model, she's wearing make up and at least a bathsuit, all of this was for free?

reminds me of the famous painting 'Ophelia' and the fact about the model that was used for the painting - Ophelia was modelled by artist and muse Elizabeth Siddal, then 19 years old. Millais had Siddal lie fully clothed in a full bathtub in his studio at 7 Gower Street in London. As it was now winter, he placed oil lamps under the tub to warm the water, but was so intent on his work that he allowed them to go out. As a result, Siddal caught a severe cold, and her father later sent Millais a letter demanding £50 for medical expenses. According to Millais' son, he eventually accepted a lower sum.

This wasn't a Bored Panda staff post. Someone took the time to post something they thought might be helpful to others, or that others my find interesting. Why not ignore it or be constructive if you don't like it. But don't just be a blatant a*s. You must fall in to the category of senseless.

The prism causes reflections in different directions. There was no copying in post.

No better way to spend a summer day than with a fun photo project. Not sure if you were intending on water reflections or not. If not, next time go for a dark blanket "ceiling" over the shoot. If you were intending on them, then it came out as you planned and that means success!

I did this three years ago in my back yard also. A little photoshop and she's in a pond with a waterfall! Backyard-S...2aa860.jpg
