What Doug Uses to Create His Photos

Doug’s photos are full of color, texture, and surprise. He takes pictures of things that most people would never think of using in art. Let’s take a look at the materials he uses in his macro photography.

Materials He Works With

Doug often uses glass, especially a type called starlight glass. He also uses silicone, crystal, resin, and even small things like cheap beads. These simple materials can look amazing under the right light.

He also plays with liquids, mixing different colors or using materials that change the way light moves.

Interesting Subjects

Doug uses many creative and sometimes surprising things in his photos:

• Silicone drops on glass

• Colored liquids

• Glow sticks

• Weeds and flowers

• Light movement effects

He likes to find materials that create unexpected shapes and colors, especially when light shines through them.

Light Is Very Important

Doug doesn’t just use objects — he uses light as a subject too.
He plays with RGB lights, uses light painting, and often puts lights under the objects to create special effects. The way light moves and changes through the materials makes each photo unique.

What’s Next

Doug wants to do more outdoor macro photography, especially of flowers and weeds. He’s always looking for new materials and new ways to use light. For him, experimenting is the most exciting part.
