For this shot, we were just playing around with our newly acquired fog machine (they are relatively cheap on amazon) and our gels. In this case, a red gel. Once you feel you are starting to get a handle on a photography set up or two, try adding new things into this mix. It doesn’t always have to be a fog machine; it could be a new prop or a new set of poses. But always be working towards trying something new or you will risk your photography becoming stagnant and eventually you will get bored of it and you will quit.
And when you do add something new, make sure it is something that excites you and understand that you might have trouble adding it into your routine. For example, we found out that fog very much enjoys being carried off by the wind – especially in directions you don’t want it to go. So now we are working on ways to control the fog as best as we can.
And now for a cheesy pun – by adding new things to your photography routines you will help ensure your photos are always a knock out!
