Default Smoke

Has any body every used smoke (fake) in a photo shoot? Haw did you make it , and how did you control it? I'm going to do another vintage glam shoot in a couple weeks and I would love use smoke in the shoot.

I have a smoke machine that i use for parties etc.. good for both indoor/outdoor use.... just don't use to much smoke indoors as it fills a room up very quickly. and for outdoor, watch for the wind as it can blow it way past your photography point quite easily

cheers

Just moved this over to the technique section since it's only indirectly about earning with photography. People may find it useful even if they aren't earning yet

The only problem with smoke is that it catches and reflect a lot of light. You're gonna get a washed out photo of whiteness after the smoke lingers for awhile if you plan on using strobes.
