A great location portrait needs many things to work together such as a talented model, good lighting, the right styling… and so on. Added to that list for photographer Gavin Hoey is often atmospheric smoke. But when you look a little closer you’ll soon discover that not all fog fluids are equal.
In this video, Gavin passes on his top tips for working with a fog machine on location. After he covers the basics such as background and lighting, Gavin takes you on a journey by repeating the same shoot with three very different types of smoke effect fluid.
Starting with a light haze, Gavin moves on to heavy, textured smoke and finally settles on the incredibly versatile fast dissipating fog fluid. If you’re into your cinematic atmospheric effects, this video will cut through the haze!

I watch these vids just to hear that high pitched inflection in Gavin's intro speeches. Can't get enough of it. Also he's a fantastic instructor :D

I lOVE your enthusiasm. Don't know what's wrong with it. I've learned a huge amount watching you, Gavin, and Mike W. So much so, that I'm upgrading to becoming a professional photographer for Headshots and Dramatic Portraits in October. I've been studying for the past year and half and practicing, practicing with friends and models. My business cards are being printed right now. So thank you very much and I thank Adorama too!

In winter I must heat my small homestudio. My problem with the fog maschine is that very quickly the whole room is filled with fog. If I let air in from the outside it becbocomes too cold in my studio. Unfortunately the solution "Fast dissipating fluid" is sold only in the US but not in Hamburg. Thus I can use fog only in summer. What a pitty! Nice video again from you, dear Gavey

Hi gavin. Which smoke machine do you recommend when power isn’t available or do you use smoke flares. The battery machines seem awfully expensive.

@GavinHoey 3 года назад

Hi Nigel. If I don't have mains power I probably won't plan smoke into my shoot. However if smoke is a must paintball smoke bombs are my final fall back.

@russdixon614 3 года назад

Great vid, as always. Have you ever had a smoke machine set of a smoke alarm/fire alarm? does the smoke leave any residue behind on surfaces such as floors/equipment?

@GavinHoey 3 года назад

Hi Russ. I've not set off a smoke alarm yet but that's a very real possibility. At locations I always warn staff it MIGHT happen and cover smoke detectors (and uncover at the end). There are several different types of smoke detector out there so you can never be 100% sure it will or won't go off with this kind of smoke. As for residue. That question comes up a lot and it's an easy answer... No residue at all. These are all water based fog fluids not oil based.

@alun7006 3 года назад

Awesome! A question about the smoke machine: how do you power it on location? I have looked into portable machines and they are ludicrously expensive. Mains powered ones will only go as far as your extension cable! No good if (like me) you want to shoot somewhere away from power outlets and vehicles.

Hi Alun. I've yet to find a real world solution. Smoke bombs are expensive and short lived but they're my final fall back if I can't get mains power.

Nice work. Wish I could find a battery operated smoke machine for outside

@xonx209 Год назад

The reason you don't find battery operated ones is because they use a lot of power -- to heat up and vaporize the liquid. For the same reason you cannot find battery operated hair dryer.

@CarlosDavidFoto 3 года назад

Well Done ! Would have loved to see the smoke produced with the aerosol spray smoke tho.

Hi Carlos. Canned smoke is VERY light and on location it's only visible for a few seconds (in my experience)

@GavinHoey 3 года назад

Hi Patty. Caned smoke is fine in small spaces but not a great option on location where there's lots of ventilation. The smoke I use is water based (with glycol) so perfectly safe. It's not my new studio, just an old barn in our garden 🏚️

@lowerleftside 3 года назад

You can try a propane yard bug fogger loaded with fog juice instead of bug spray. I've done this and it worked outside. You will need someone to run the fogger in most cases because the yard foggers have a trigger you need to pump to get fog.

@otraguardia 3 года назад

Too bad you didn't talk about the health aspect of smoke machines. I cannot believe it is without risk to inhale these smoke fluids. It would also be nice to know whether these fluids condense on objects in the rooms and make everything sticky. I guess none of the fluids you used is actually CO₂ as the label on one canister suggested since that is not liquid without pressure.

@GavinHoey 3 года назад

Links to the products are in the video description which should help you answer your questions.

@Boleskinebeatz 3 года назад

Most modern smoke fluid is water and glycol-based, even accepted by the Royal Opera house in the UK so no health risks and no residue on objects or people.
