Have you seen the milk bath photos?  Jump on Google under "Milk Bath".  How much milk needs to go into a bathtub full of water in order to get a strong white look?

Not that much milk actually 3-4 cups for a entire bath will cloud up the water just nicely.

Turns out not even that is needed, just 1-2 cups:  https://www.healthline.com/health/beauty-skin-care/milk-bath#how-to

Not too much indeed if it is just a matter of blocking details
but to get a really controllable opacity and look one should
consider 1.5 + gal. and adding powder milk when necessary.

Never seen this before, very clean look when the water is brighter white.  I suspect you can punch up those whites in post.

Two cups worked.  Working on punching up the colors in post right now.  Thank you!
