When Karl decided to poke fun at our modern obsession with perfection by photographing models being splattered with jelly, he suspected it would be an epic project. But it turned out to be even more epic than any of us imagined.

If you’ve ever wanted to see a high-end fashion and beauty shoot combined with very messy (but highly precise) splash photography, you’re sure to find this unique class both entertaining and educational.

Watch Karl and the team develop the concept from blueprints on paper right up to a studio full of lights, modifiers, lasers, medium-format cameras, makeup artists and models – not to mention hundreds of tubs of jelly and a wooden catapult designed and built by KTE Creative Director Tim.

In this photography demonstration, you’ll see Karl double up on key lights, using a Para 133 and Fresnel in tandem to achieve hard, strong shadows. You’ll learn how to use laser triggers to activate your camera with incredible precision. And you’ll cover how to use fast flash duration to freeze motion and capture crystal-clear splash images.

You’ll also get to see Karl himself slapped in the face with jelly as he gives amazing models Cat and Tristan a chance to get their own back!
