I love the random shapes and curves created by smoke, so decided to give it a go myself.

Inspired by the excellent youtube video by PhotoGavin, i set up my off camera flash, a hand held torch (in place of the table lamp (couldn’t find one at 7am when i decided to do this!) and a black backdrop from an old popup light tent kit, off i went and created many images, 2 of the best are just under the video. Enjoy.

And here are a few of my images -

(images will be back later – lost them after installing a gallery plugin!)

After experimenting, i started to use my studio lights and remote triggers to tempt better results (images to follow)
