milk bathtub shoot

[danchez]

I am hoping someone can help me out here. I am looking to do a bathtub shoot and I would like to do it with milk but I don't want to use just milk to fill the bathtub. I want to use milk and water but I don't want it to look like skim milk. I want to try and retain the whiteness. Any idea what kind of ratio I should use to accomplish this?

[ppcass]

Use 5 or 6 cups of powdered milk. This should retain enough white color to keep the water milky looking. So water & powdered milk!!

[danchez]

powdered milk, I never even thought of that, thanks Phil!!!

It's been done before. Whoopi worked with photographer Anne Leibowitz on this idea.

I'd interested in what you come up with, Dan.

doesn't dairy have a green cast to it? In a class I took, I was told that it does? Haven't tried it for myself?

I think Daryl Briggs posted a shot in the Human Form forum about a shot he did with milk. He told something about it, try a search.

Once you see that whoopie pic, it's hard to un-see it :(

No whooopi for me with Whoopi...
FYI - white glue is often mixed with water to shoot hi qual cereral ads.
It sticks to your ribs ...

After seeing the Whoopi photo, I don't know if I'll

a) take a bath
b) drink milk

ever again!

One definition of a sucessful image is that you will not forget it.

[S-Man]

I don't know if I'd call everything I don't forget sucessful. I hope that wasn't Annie's shot either, it wasn't good at all.

I refuse to click the link, tho I've hovered over it a few times :)

[toverman]

Well, I won't forget it because of how awful it is. If that's success, I don't want a part of that!

Stay away, Allen. It will change your life forever!
