1. Adequate photo set
You don't need to take photos in a studio, you can also take photos at home, it's as simple as that... The tools used are also simple, a camera and a tripod. Apart from that, for lighting you can use an external flash or LED light. It doesn't need to be expensive.
2. Aquarium size
The size of the aquarium determines the amount of ink you need to inject into the water. If your aquarium is large, you will definitely need more ink to create a cloud-like blob effect. You can adjust it to suit your photo needs. Apart from aquariums, you can also use clear glasses or jars.

4. Background color
Generally, ink photography uses a white or black background. The white color gives a clean, simple and modern impression. Meanwhile, black gives a strong, exclusive, mysterious impression. It's best to match the background color to the color of the ink you're going to use, so as not to make your colors become dim and drowned.
5. Angle of shooting
The shooting angle is also quite influential. You can find different shapes from various angles. To get an interesting angle, you need to repeatedly inject ink into the water, aka trial and error. You can try using a macro lens to get quite extreme details of the ink blobs.
6. Responsive to capture the moment
Ink photography is similar to photography in nature. You need to be sensitive and responsive to capture the moment so you can get a good photo.
