SUMMARY

Chris See Casas, researching water photography, aimed to create a macro image raising awareness about water drops. Using a Canon EOS 500D DSLR from 2006, she combined macro photography with long exposure, experimenting extensively with lighting and subject placement. The resulting abstract image, shot with minimal post-processing, is described by Chris as impossible to replicate exactly.
