How To Photograph Smoke

Here’s a pretty cool abstract photography article on how to go about photographing smoke. I don’t know what I’d ever do with this but you never know, it might come in handy one day. Photocritic.org interviewed Graham Jefferey, of Sensitive Light, and talked to him a little about how to get the smoke just right, lighting techniques for getting that really “cleanly” lit smoke, digital manipulation and some things that inspire him.
Graham points out that he doesn’t actually take photographs of smoke, he uses the smoke as a tool and his photographs are more about manipulating the tool in such a way he can capture and impressive photo. He uses different lighting techniques to capture those really cool an interesting effects.
