I'm currently in my junior year of high school and I've taken two art classes so far and I asked my teacher if it was okay if I could mess around with smoke and I decided to incorporate it through my friend blowing it out. I'm really happy with how they turned out, but of course, I could use some constructive feedback to see how I can improve. In the second to the last photo I saw a woman in the smoke, and I decided to mess around with the temperature and the tint to bring out those details (as seen in the last photo)
I'm relatively new to photography, and I'd like some advice on these portraits I took using smoke.
The last one is epic! I'm curious as to how you did it! Is that tobacco smoke? Images 5, 7 and 8 could use a little more light on the subject's face. Not much! The photos a very good!
Thanks for much for the feedback. I guess I should've taken into account the lighting a bit better, but it's tough to recreate the smoke effect multiple times. For these photos, I had my friend vaping (because it's denser than cigarette smoke) and for the last one I loaded the image into camera raw and just used the brush to select the smoke and I adjusted the tint and temperature to change the color. Another thing I was really amazed by was in the 5th one, the smoke that created a silhouette of his face also looked like a face in itself too (I just added an "eye" to show that effect)
