Splash Photography

I am looking into various forms of photography and luckily came across a meetup group in Philly holding workshops on various kinds of trick photography.. I have attended a few sessions and now I am hooked entirely.. The only problem is I can not come home and create this setup by myself.. that requires a lot more skills than what I have.. Carpentry, Flash usage, tinkering with electronics.. I would rather drive to Philly and shoot the photos in a studio set up by somebody else..Call me lazy.
