Light & Smoke...
Experimenting in the studio with a great model....
Nice shot.
How long did the model have to pose without moving so she wouldn't disturb the smoke?
I don't specifically recall, but I don't think it was significant. Probably just about as long as it would take for her to settle into a pose without the smoke-- just a second or two. We weren't trying for a specific smoke look. We just tried a number of poses in front of an incest stick and saw what came out.
Nice shot, although I wish she her hands were not cropped out.

I'm hoping "incest stick" is a typo.

It is an interesting photo well done. But I am sorry - I just cannot NOT think of the old joke: "Do you smoke after sex? I don't know - I never looked!"

We're hoping now that she wasn't your sister. LOL
Using lighting to emphasize the smoke is neat. I noticed her shoulders seemdrawn backwards, making the pose a bit awkward (no big deal) but her arms might look better at a different angle, (up or down) so that her hands could be in the shot. Was the pose intended? Just curious, nice shot and a terrific, beautiful model. Beautiful hair.

No specifically. She was just bouncing through a number of poses (I took about 70 shots of this set up over about 40 minutes).

Need to get the spelling right on this one. I think this has completely differenct connotation from what you intened. LOL

James,
Nice shot. Hands have been mentioned. I happen to think there is a little too much dead space above her head and I would crop it a bit if you can still retain the size image you want, say for a picture. Excellent incense smoke caught and froze by the flash. I, too, think she has some pretty great looking hair.
Best Regards,
Tom

I agree completely. After I posted it, I noticed that, and wondered why I had already cropped it...
