A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

How do I take a photo that looks like it’s a parallel universe? (alien.top)

Not sure if I asked this correctly, but this is something for my lens craft class. I’m supposed to create some still images and turn them into as if it looks like we are in a parallel universe. How do I do that without photoshop it’s pretty hard tbh. Is there a video link I could use as reference?

Consider using physical objects as a lens/shield/filter that warps the way the world looks. Could be warping in terms of colour (e.g. colour filter, IR filter), or space (e.g. mirrors, "compound eyes" like in flies could be simulated with multiple pieces of glass, etc.).

And you'd probably have to find physical locations where you get inspired with "Damn this looks out of this world".

I agree with the rest in that this is pushing you for creativity and innovation.

One precise shot I would go for is Interstellar's Cooper Station. Everything looks warped, the land is both beneath you and above you. We have seen shots like this taken with some fancy 360 degree cameras, right? How can we do that using a regular camera and using physical objects (round glass? idk) to make space look warped?
