Something from nothing tutorial 04 - Smoke
In episode 4 of his 'Something from Nothing' series, Neil Redfern demonstrates how to use off camera flash, a creative filter and smoke to take vibrant, creative portraits
How to create colourful and vibrant portraits using off-camera flash and ...smoke!
In this tutorial, the 4th in his 'Something from Nothing' tutorial series, Neil Redfern demonstrates how you can create more off-camera flash portraits 'from nothing', this time using a creative filter and a small smoke machine.
Our 'Something from Nothing' tutorial series is all about creating creative portraits in environments which, at face value, don't offer you very much. They are great techniques to have up your sleeve as they can be created just about anywhere - all you need is a bit of space in which to shoot.
As always, Neil covers every step of the process, from the equipment he uses and basic set-up through to how he then adds a creative filter to give him images a completely different look.
If this tutorial inspires you to try out these set-ups and take your own creative portraits with smoke, please share them in the Flash Masters Pro Members Facebook group, we would love to see them!

I am a off camera flash obsessive wedding photographer based in the sunny North West of England. I shot my first wedding in 2006 and since then I have shot around 500 weddings across the UK and overseas. For the past 10 years I have also been running wedding photography workshops and in 2020 I set up my Patreon, which has now grown to a community of 250 photographers all over the world. I also love to make videos for my YouTube channel, which again is all focussed on wedding photography education and ‘How I Shot This’ off camera flash videos. I am also very proud to be an Ambassador for MagMod, Pic-Time and Studio Ninja.Myself and Helen Williams set up Flash Masters in September 2022 and I am so incredibly proud of what Flash Masters will become. A huge thank you to all of our Ambassadors, Sponsors and every single member of the community for helping to make this a reality. I am so excited to see where this journey takes us all!
