Clourant is the titled of a paint photography series that will blow people's minds away. Although a simple concept, the resulting images are much more complex. Full of intense vibrancy, sharp motion and contrasting backdrops, the paint photography series captures splashes of the liquid using high-speed techniques.

A concept executed by Cassandra Warner and Jeremy Floto of Floto+Warner Studio, the paint photography series were captured at a speed of 1/3,500th of a second. Although no Photoshop was used, people won't be able to get over the surreal effect of such a technique. The photographers write, "Creating shapes of nature not experienced by the human eye, these short-lived anomalies are frozen for us to view at 3500th of a second. Transforming the non-discernible and ephemeral to the eternal. The essence of photography—immortalize the transitory."
