"I met Drake when I was looking for a fire breather for an upcoming project, and we decided to meet for a test session at the Gas Works park near downtown Seattle, WA. At first I was planning on 30 min tops session where I just take a few shots to get an idea of what he can do and how it will fit my upcoming shoot, but after the first flame I was mesmerized by what Drake can do with fire. After two hours and a few dozen of excited visitors at the park I had a full card of every flame possible and according to Drake that was not even the half of what he is capable of creating.
Note- Drake is a professional pyro artist and fire breather. Please don't try it on your own...
SETUP:
Two speed lights front on half power. the one behind is on full power to light up the oil around the flame. Camera set on f8 1/250 to get a sharp image of the flame without killing the flash.Lens I used was a Nikon 24-70 at around 30mm to give the fire a bit of a mass and frame the shot with the cement structure that Drake was standing in front of."- KLeon Photography
