Smoke can be an amazing tool for photographers. It can add drama to a shot or be used to cover a distracting background. On location shoots it’s not always possible to get access to a power supply so as Gavin Hoey demonstrates, using smoke grenades is the answer.
After the shoot join Gavin in Photoshop where has matches the color of the smoke and the color of the models dress to make an amazing location fashion portrait.

Are you using photo shop cs5 ?
You're my absolute favorite. Love every single video. Thanks for your time and keep doing you!
I have learned so much from these videos over the years, thanks Gavin, you make it look so easy!
Thanks, Gavin. So well articulated, terrific visual demo....I use hue/saturation all the time and was happy to learn something new (using the eyedropper to let photoshop tell me the true color of what's being sampled...)!
Brilliant!
Always love Gavin's photoshop finishes, learn something from each video!
Excellent video once again, very inspiring!
Another great video. I enjoy your more than any other RUclipsr. Nice work. I've been noodling on the OMD II as well. Good to see your use of it.
Nice concept; I like scenario portraits. I've never worked with smoke before; I think I'll try it outdoors first!
Very cool! I love the color change on the dress.
Your tutorials are amazing, i have learned so much from your videos. Thanks Gavin.

I couldn't get over that her name was "Fern" while surrounded by ferns!! lol. Great video!
Fern...How apt!
Man, you are awesome
what kind of trigger u use ? and light meter
How did you have your camera tell you whats the perfect Aperture f-stop number to use in the beginning of the video?
I'm so glad I discovered your channel. Brand new here. Please advice me where I can self teach myself all the basics in this field. I was laid off from healthcare industry (administrative sector) after the pandemic hit. Thank you for taking the time in reading this
You are fantastic Gavin. Your are helping everyone who follows your channel every now and then...and I'm gonna be one of them. thanks also for posting the link on the description of those gears. and by the way, how do you call that thing that you use to match the f-stop of your lighting source with the camera, and does Adorama sell that too? kindly send/post the link. thanks bro. keep it up.
Gavin is top notch and Fern is lovely
Love'it.
Great video I will make my next video using smoke, look very nice
Hi Gain, which trigger system do I need for hss over 1.320 sec with Olympus em-1 ? Thank you.
It is a cold burn enola gaye smoke grenade used in airsoft. Does not get red hot but warm
so olympus and canon which better for video and photo?
You're a genius!
you are a great tutor
Cool video n smoke bombs but where did you get the lantern ???!?!
And at what time did you go for this shooting? And at what time do you advise me to go there? I specify that I have a very powerful 600ws as you 600ws flash.
nice one gavin
where can we get those smoke
how does he get the moving smoke without being blurry?
some of the stuff you have linked isn't offered anymore. you have any suggestions on what to get in those spots instead
This guy is phenomenal!!!
Thanks Gavin
very nice & useful ideas ... I like the subscribe grenade hehehe
i wish you were my dad gavin!!!!!lol great stuff
How do I focus through the smoke?
What year phortoahop are you using?
Which Photoeditor do you use ?
what brand are the smoke bombs?
Gavin Hoey is a boss!
gracias
graet video as always Mr. Hoey . a full frame canon and L series lens or an olympus which is better for the job in your opinion
yunus emre Gursoy Impossible to give a clear answer. Both have plus and minus points. Both are capable of taking great images and both are capable to taking rubbish images, it all depends on the job in hand.
Thumbs up!!
great video, Gavin! A question: if the color around the dress had changed with the settings of hue/saturation what would you have done? A new layer?
Zanelli Caldas Yes and then masked back the colour spill
What software do you use to edit pics
nice. well explanation :D
this was so good that it gave me inspiration to go out on a shoot of my own with smoke grenades it was so much fun and i would love it if anyone who saw this could check it out !!
Is smoke save for the wedding dress?
great job :)
is it possible to do photo smoke photography by yourself??
How can I buy the smoke bomb
Hi gavin :) Is the camera up to par with what you usually shoot?
bonguStyle Yep, no complaints at all :)
Hi Gav, are you now shooting mirrorless only, or mixing it with your Canon gear? Great IQ overall, but Ferns face looked a tad soft? Great vid.
MrKravmagadude Still got my Canon gear. It's getting a bit old and very battered now, so I'm keeping an open mind about what will replace it ;)
Do we need a permit for every place to shot a smoke bomb photography?
where can we buy smoke bombs, are they sold by adorama.com?
Could I do this without a flash or is the flash needed for the smoke to show up?
The flash is to better separate the model from the background
in order to capture the sky detail he needs to make a darker shot... that makes the model impossible to see... thats why he needs the flash... no for the smoke.. or you can do this shot without the sky background so you don't need to do all the adjustments
Are these smoke grenades available online?
Wow!!! How long does one smoke bomb last?
Yoy are the best
Thanks great video...did you need permission to use the smoke grenades in the woods from the council?
Hi Gavin. I love the idea of doing a shot like this but finding private property to let a smoke grenade off might be tricky. Those grenades kick out a hell of a lot of smoke, probably more than most situations call for. I know from your other videos you have a smoke machine, have you thought about using that outside with a battery and power inverter? Just think with a machine it'd be much more controllable and probably be able to get away with using it anywhere, within reason.
Thank you Gavin for this ! Now i know where i can get these Smoke Bombs =)
+That Canon Guy They sell them on Amazon... around $11.00 each which I think is pricey.. Look up Mammoth Smoke Bombs... I use those and they are fantastic.. I get a box of 24 for around $26.00... just google them
Yeah that would be nice to know.
link...? thx
google it, you'll will find it.
My question to you is, is it safe to use on your hand walking around, mount on the grass?
ty
nice idea :)
So how do you suggest a shoot in the middle of the woods without sounding like a crazy ax murderer?
if they are a professional model, tell them this is your idea and what you want from them, if they are professional they wont deem you an ax murder, BUT may want to bring someone along with them (always allow this)
but if they are a stranger/non model youre talking to about doing shoots, maybe do a couple casual shoots, before hand so you and they are comfortable.
the smoke grenades are from www.enolagaye.com/
Very awesome company! Particularly , gavin used EG-18 smoke grenades.
I've worked with representatives of the company and personally know people in the US portion of their franchise. (They are based in the UK)

Check my Instagram out for some more ideas!
Gavin, where'd you buy the smoke grenade?
Dennis Skyum I got mine from Driverwood Paintball but plenty of airsoft / paintball stores will stock them. I went with Enola Gaye Cool Burn Purple, non toxic and very dense smoke!
cool
what Programm did he use?
Adobe Photoshop, not sure what version
