“Vessels and Blooms” is a photo series of splashing liquids that resemble flowers in vases. Photographer Jack Long captured each image in one high speed exposure, without any Photoshop trickery.
They are created by photographing fast-moving droplets of paint as they fall through the air. Artist Jack Long, 53, spends months painstakingly planning and testing each work before capturing them with a high-speed camera. He uses water mixed with thickeners, pigments and dyes. The paint is suspended in air for a split second and he uses an electronic flash to get the moment just right. The images contain a range of leaves, stems, petals and even the pots are made out of paint.
He said: ‘I love working with liquids because of their incredible versatility when creating high speed photography. The work takes a great amount of planning, set building and testing. Hundreds of captures are made in testing and then many more during the actual final capture stage. A very few stand out as being the best.’

I continue to be astonished by the creative, unique and original things today’s artists produce. It is much more vibrant that the age of the old master painters because everyone merely tried to imitate.
All I can say is – Wow!
