Note: I am an experienced fire juggler who has looked into fire eating (surprise to all my friends who may not have been aware of that, it’s been that way for about 15 years at this point). This is all done with care, consideration, and experience. Don’t just go grab a lighter and some gas and try this. I am using butane bubbles here with water as a barrier. That is, they burn quickly, and the water protects whatever is on fire. Also, lots of help on set with several means to put any fire out.
I’ve been doing some sports media day photo sessions lately. It’s been great. But there is always a push to do something more. So, fire. I haven’t actually got anyone willing to try it under the right conditions, so I keep testing. I have set myself on fire so many times at this point. Then I practiced a few poses and then I set up the shot I had in mind. That is, someone holding a lacrosse stick that contains a burning ball. Fun fact, that fire goes for like 3 seconds and then it’s out.
And if you are seeing this on my business site then you see just how much help I had. Thank you to Luis and Christa for setting me on fire and looking awesome while doing it. If you are ever wondering if the people in your life are good for you just ask yourself this question: would they set me on fire? If the answer is no, then you probably got your answer. Mine were more than delighted to set me on fire, which is why I consider them family.
Anyway, if you are interested in a sports session, with or without fire, let me know. I got openings and cool ideas that don’t involve fire too.
