Watch till the end for a little 📸 and fun assignment.
Want to create stunning beams of light in smoke and boost your creativity in the studio? In this video, you’ll learn one of the most effective lighting techniques for transforming ordinary smoke into dramatic, cinematic effects.
Smoke can add atmosphere, depth, and mystery to your images, but creating visible light beams requires the right setup. In this tutorial, Frank Doorhof demonstrates the Sandwich Smoke Technique, showing how to use smoke, colored gels, and a gobo projector to create striking light patterns around your subject. You’ll learn how light placement affects smoke, why front lighting can reduce the effect, and how moving your light source can dramatically improve the visibility of your beams. Frank also shares a budget-friendly alternative for photographers who don’t own a gobo projector, using simple materials and smart lighting techniques to achieve similar creative results.
Whether you’re into portrait photography, studio lighting, or simply looking for new creative ideas, this tutorial will help you create images that stand out from the crowd.
