Smoke is a great way to quickly add atmosphere to your studio shots but when your studio space is small, smoke can quickly become a major problem. Fortunately portrait photographer Gavin Hoey has some great tips to make your next smoke filled shoot go better then ever.
Gavin will cover the three types of smoke he uses in his small home studio. He'll pass on his tips about how to light smoke with both flash and LED lights. He'll even show a few secrets on creating amazing backgrounds from thin air... and smoke.

Brilliant as always and a beautiful model too! I bought a small smoke machine for my own " small home studio " but I've yet to try it out. I didn't realise there were different smoke types, I'll have to stock up on the various fluids 😊

Great teaching video. I just started shooting smoke today. I had about a 30% success rate. So, I went to the University of RU-vid and found your video. Great advice!!!!!! I will be using your info, hopefully, to great success soon.

@gadgeteer57 6 лет назад

@rgreeneish 6 лет назад

Awesome video. I’ve done some smoke shoots, but not with a model yet. And I’ve been trying to figure out how to get light rays. That light blaster is exactly what I’ve been looking for.

@martinsmith6049 3 года назад

@Skudiero 5 лет назад

@sfayers3361 6 лет назад

Great video Gavin with very useful tips. My home studio is also our TV/Living Room with soft furnishings, carpets and curtains. Does anyone know if these smoke machines leave a residue?

@GavinHoey 6 лет назад

This type of smoke machine uses water based fog fluid and doesn't leave any residue.

@rjhphotos 6 лет назад

What were those 2 lights you were using towards the end of the video??

@MrIweegin 5 лет назад

Great video Gavin, love your work. Although I'm a bit disappointed on the way the "Light Blaster" worked on your video. I just recently purchased one and could not get the results you achieved, had to return it.

@TheWaspist 5 лет назад

where can we get those led light in the background?

@LORDOFDASITH 4 года назад

Gavin which light blaster kit is that light from ?

@SatinMediaDetroit 11 месяцев назад

I have that one

@vinniemac58 3 года назад

I know this is an old video, but maybe Gavin will still see the comment - I just acquired a fog machine and came acros this video - super content, and a great model! I have a LightBlaster and tried it with the fog, but couldn't get the sharpness of the lines you got Gavin. I was using a 3D printed gobo which has good edges that projects well onto a background. 50mm 1.8 lens wide open. I tried varying the focus distance on the lens but didn't see a lot of diference. Am I missing something?

@MarcelinoNogueiro 6 лет назад

@thegavinhoey - Great video. I do have a question, the first set you indicated that CO2 was being used but it looks like she is using the Hurricane 1200 Fog Machine for all 3. I understand about the light and heavy fluids but how do you setup the Hurricane 1200 for CO2? Thanks.

@GavinHoey 6 лет назад

It's CO2 effect smoke, not real CO2 )which is VERY hard to come by in the UK). It's called various names as mentioned at 2:28 :)

@mariocarranza573 6 лет назад

Great video my friend, what was the name of the (light blaster?) accessory that lights the background? This video is just what I was looking for today, many thanks I loved it.

Love your videos. Would you ever consider doing a video that shows your "Small home studio"? I would love to have a home studio. If i did, it would for sure be a "SMALL home studio". I would love to see yours in detail.

@GavinHoey 6 лет назад

Not done a video as there's really nothing else to see. My studio wall is at one end, my PC is at the other. Lots more details are here scottkelby.com/guest-blog-wednesday-featuring-gavin-hoey

@AngelaPerez-ie4gy Год назад

What was the last light modifier you used?

@michelledonovan286 3 года назад

I am curious on where you got your light blaster and if that is the actual name of the light? Thank you.

@blacheatTv 5 месяцев назад

Where could i find that second light??? Awesome looking

@ScottRadfordChisholm 6 лет назад

Gavin, thanks for that video. I wanted to have a go at using a smoke machine in our work / office studio. Was told by our landlords NO as they were unsure if smoke alarms would be affected. Any idea on this ??

@GavinHoey 6 лет назад

I took professional advice on this a few years back. The upshot was it probably won't set off most domestic smoke alarms but might set off optically triggered detectors.

@markburger9784 6 лет назад

What was the name of the LED light you used? I can not find it anywhere.

@JulieBoehm 3 года назад

what you gave in front of the backlight at 5:05? Is it a gobo?

@dab7963 2 месяца назад

Gavin what flash star device did you use behind her it looked awesome. It was not the Savage starlight I have that device. You used some kind of star device that was on the flash unit behind her ?

@chazM6116 6 лет назад

Great as always, I make my own fog fluid so much cheaper.( ask if you not know how to make it) One point is to watch out if you have Smoke Alarms.... I found out the hard way LOL..

@GavinHoey 6 лет назад

Hi Chaz. From my non-scientific experiments, different smoke machines and different smoke fluids have very different effects on household smoke alarms. Some set them off, others don't.

@promokator 8 месяцев назад

Hello, what kind of modificator you used behind the model?

@russellallan8564 2 года назад

here is a daft question - could you have someone vaping behind the model and backlit to produce the same effect?

@zeusfloreus 8 месяцев назад

@januszciechowskiphotograph7297 2 года назад

Hi what is the liquid that are suitable to this machine ?

@aleksvei5981 6 лет назад

For the problem of focusing with a lot of smoke, wouldn't it be easier to use a manual lens, with no autofocus at all, while staying at the same distance from the subject?

@GavinHoey 6 лет назад

It might if you're happy to do so, my eye sight isn't that good ;)

@Fitografo 4 года назад

Hi Gavin what’s the size of your studio

@massimoraffaelefavaloro4354 6 лет назад

hi Gavin, I would like to buy a smoke machine but I'm afraid of ruining my camera and lenses !! What kind of smoke machine should I buy? In water, oil? I'm a little confused.

@GavinHoey 6 лет назад

Sorry for the late reply. Look for water based smoke machines every time ;)
