Cold fog meets a warm body

Soon as the fog warms just a bit it begins to rise (reason for getting the floor cold and having a willing model.)

Great shots, but I am curious why you don’t try a fog machine. The “fogs” have different properties such as low hanging or rising, quick dissipating or persistent, etc. I would think you have more control with a machine.

That’s what I use. Got it cheap—after Halloween sale. They use ice or a refrigeration unit to make the fog stay low.

Is your machine a dry ice dipper or does it use oils? The oils are available with various properties. Dry ice in water generally gives a low lying fog. You can make low lying fogs last longer by “boxing” them in with a 2x4 or 2x6 (or deeper) frame.
Have fun!

Thanks--and yes, I am having fun. Have used the dry ice for stage productions and rather expensive machines for a variety of productions with various oil based and water based fogs. However in my little studio and my little budget one uses what you have and can afford. Makes you work a little harder to get what you want.

If you want to have a good long lasting fog try to find the fog juice made by Froggy's fog it's the preferred choice in the haunt industry

Quite nice. Knowing how agreeable fog must be to the whims of the photographer, you managed to get the fog working well with this model.

This is some nicely made images! I think you are into some great ideas with this. Hope that you can do more with this stile of studio imagery. Excellent!

Thanks for the suggestion for me. I have done some work with 'smoke' in the past but did have trouble getting decent results with the cheap Halloween smoke machines. If someone ever donates a decent smoke machine you can reassured you will be seeing some fun creative work. But this stuff by Mr. V is very fine!

Thanks guys. But if you saw the number of failures it not so impressive. Just a note: I ran out to the studio to look and my bottle says "Froggy" on it.

Froggy's fog has many different varieties of fog juice ranging from mist to heavy ground fog it's just a matter of finding the right one for your needs
