Nowadays, many photographers and artists alike rely on post-production software, such as Photoshop, to generate and form photographic effects. However, with only a few simple household items, you can create a dreamy state without expensive software. All you need is plastic wrap, an elastic band, petroleum jelly and a camera. The subject matter you can capture with this effect is limitless, so don’t feel restricted with any one genre.
Fortunately, I had sunny weather while I was shooting with my model. I found that using this natural sunlight resulted in an almost sparking effect when it hit the Vaseline. If you are not so lucky for these types of conditions or need to shoot indoors, using flash creates a similar outcome.
