How do I photograph the Liquid Retro aesthetic?+
1970s shapes that never stopped morphing a lava lamp caught mid-thought. Shoot through an actual optical distortion a curved glass vase, a prism, water rather than warping in post; real refraction moves light in ways digital liquify never quite matches
