If you’re looking to create dramatic effects in your studio with minimal cost, a smoke machine, fog machine or hazer could be the perfect tool. Gavin Hoey gives some great advice and some simple lighting tips that can work wonders on your smoke photos.
After Gavin has completed his fortune teller photo shoot he takes one of the final photos into Photoshop and has some great tips on controlling contrast and using the Patch tool to clone out larger items such as softboxes.

Hey Gavin
Thanks for the great videos. Learning so much from your video. You teach at an easy and understandable pace. Keep up the great work.
Thnx Gavin, great as usual :)
Really good tutorial, thanks. It has inspired me to play around with lighting more.
Just discovered you, especially the work in raw in Photoshop..wow helped me so much.
You're awesome, Sir. Thank you.
Used this exact method, my first time, worked great
Great stuff as alway Gavin!
Excellent video as usual
Wonderful work . Tank you
that subscribe act at the end of video is very creative, love all ur vids
Love your videos. I know that this was shot a while ago, but in reality when you get a model booked in, how long do you get them in for? I’d love a video where you go through the idea, preparation, booking stage
Brilliant Teacher - thanks a ton
Brilliant as ALWAYS Gavin.. Kerry is a beautiful model. Very helpful. I did not see you at the Photographic Show March 2016. Hope you are doing fine. Take care.
very interesting teacher, thanks -Lima Peru
Really nicely done and the end shot looks great!
Excellent, thanks!
Great video with smoke machine Gavin. Could you please do an outdoor shoot with smoke, in the woods?
I really appreciate that you also teach photoshop
Definitely one of you best. Great model, and stunning end result :-)
Let's say you're using the same light for the front and the back, power output wise. How much is the power output for the camera in the back? Thanks for the good video
Thanks for the video.

Best an fun guy ever
hi Gavin hoey u r ginious. really i liked very much your tutoials.😊
superb man... you are genius...
Even though the fog fluid was water based, did you find that the atomized particles left any kind of residue on your lens that you had to clean off when the shoot was done?
I like your Videos. learned a lot from you. but i have a question what is your background (studio) some kind of plastic?? greatings from Luxembourg.
thanks so much it's a great tut :)
Thanks for the video
Gavin, where did you get the crystal ball ?, for the only ones I can fine are clear or coloured and, I like this for it seems to have some air bubbles trapped within it.
It"s great sir .thanks you........
FYI a Hazer is not quite the same as a Smoke Machine. Similar yes, the same no. Hazer is way better for film/photo and a lot more expensive. :) good video as usual Gavin! :D
Hi Gavin!
First of all I want to thank you for all your great videos! They are very helpfull and very very creatives and had let me learn a lot with your techniques.
In this video I have a question: Does the smoke machine make some dust or is it clean? I mean, is only vapour or we have to clean dust? Because I've got a very small studio.
Thanks and greetings from Uruguay!
I am new to this but I am wanting to do this type of background but I would like want to make the color red rather than blue. How would I do that? Any advice would help. I am trying to impress a softball league with amazing photos! Thanks
Great Videos. Always enjoy watching you. What was the music you played in the background? I loved it but Shazam couldn't pick it up. Thanks in advance Gavin.
Philip Brunner did you get an answer about the music?
Hey Gavin,
Thank you so much for sharing all the knowledge that you do. I really enjoy your enthusiasm and the way you compisite photos so easily leaves me speechless. Ive learned TONS from you. I have one question i noticed the wall behind you is not a backdrop - or at least to my eye. If its just a wall - did you paint and texture if so how? If backdrop - which one is it?
Thanks and cant wait to see more videos.
Frank in South Mississippi
Francisco Ortega Thanks for the kind words. The background was aDIY creation. Full details are here www.gavtrain.com/?p=3824
Hi Gavin... You use a lot of gear from Adorama however isn't that a problem for us europeans? I'm mean in Denmark we have 220 V... the fogger fx is 120V AC Voltage... Inlighten me please :)
nice tute for sure, and may i know the name of the Background music please! Thank you
Hey Gavin... what mode is your camera on... full manual, Tv or Av...
I wouldn't have ever thought of the gels
will a power inverter allow you to use the smoke machine out on location?
sorry for the second comment, i meant to ask do adorama ship to the uk? thanks
Great video! Can you tell me what is the size of the studio? Thanks
