Colour powder photography has been a popular trend in the art world lately but what about something slightly more opaque, vibrant and explosive? Enter the Paint Pigment Photographs series by Rob and Nick Carter. Inspired by Holi, the British husband-and-wife team captured these bursts of hue against a blue sky and the final result is, as designboom beautifully described, a unique kind of daytime firework show. While colourful powder is soft and dreamy, the use of paint pigment creates bold saturated colour with some pretty fabulous droplets. Oh how I love this series…
