    Great idea. Great shot.
    What’s the surface the cigarette is on? How did you go about taking this shot? Just curious about how it was done ;-) Cheers, Richard

    For this shot I have used a black back and just one flash unit (with barn doors) behind the cigarette at 45 degrees more or less. The cigarette was in a black ashtray (erased with photoshop), then I’ve duplicated, inverted and degraded the layer to create the reflection.
    One friend works with a black methacrylate to produce this reflections…
    That’s all! Thanks for your comments.

    Thanks for the explanation Joan… much appreciated. I couldn’t decide if this was a “straight shot” or if there was some behind-the-scene magic going on somewhere ;-)

    I love how you left the cigarette in the frame and added the reflection though. Gives it that extra dimension you hardly ever see with smoke photography. Very nice!
    I took a stab at smoke photography myself a week or two ago, quite fun.

    The Photoshopping of the reflection aside, I am impressed with your lighting of the cigarette… and the look of the smoke is exquisite. Really nicely done.

    Hi Jim,
    The cigarette light in due to a reflective surface.
    Thanks
