I was really pleased with these images. They weren't really cigarettes so it was really hard to capture the movement of smoke as it wasn't consistent like a normal lit cigarette. I focussed mainly on capturing the movement than a model posing etc as I had never tried this before so I wanted to make sure I got it right.

I had to shutter on a 60th of a second so it capture the blow of smoke as it had to be quick, some of these images were dark to begin with as I was using different appertures but I finally got the right one. I like the way in the first two images the smoke was captured as it looks artifical because it caught everything. Developing with this shoot I could use someone with a real cigarette so it would look more realistic and try in different locations.
