If you're looking for an inexpensive way to have a bit of fun with photography while still capturing interesting photos, the COOPH team may just have the tutorial for you.

We've seen the creative COOPH team take everyday objects you can find them in your home and use them as a tool for photography quite a few times but this is the first time they're putting the umbrella to good use. 

One image can change us.

A picture, a moment can change the way we feel. Change how we see ourselves. Change our understanding and change the rules. Provoke and change history.

MPB puts photo and video kit into more hands, more sustainably. Every month, visual storytellers sell more than 20,000 cameras and lenses to MPB. Choose used and get affordable access to kit that doesn’t cost the earth. Sell the kit you’re not using to MPB. Trade in for the kit you need to create. Buy used, spend less and get more. Buy. Sell. Trade. Create.

Tips include playing around with coloured smoke bombs (be careful if you try this), turning it into a DIY light source, creating shadow shapes for interesting portraits, bouncing light and creating overhead patterns (you'll need a drone for this one). 

What creative portraits have you captured? You can share them with us in the Gallery.
