to create the mesmerizing footage, jens uses just M&M’s and water: ‘everything you need is any camera, a tripod, a small fishtank and a petri with water,’  says the photographer.  with this simple setup, he then pops a candy inside and shoots images as the hard, colorful shells dissolve. for different effects, he uses different light sources and angles. if you’re looking to up your photography game, or just want to try out these techniques, you can check jens’ youtube channel here, where he posts regular photography hacks and DIY tutorials to over 23 thousand subscribers.
