Captured with a camera and a flash, these authentic incense smoke images and the titles given were intuitively chosen from what I could see within. The smoke offers the observer the opportunity of having unique visualisations from their reflective mind. See what they say to you, from within.
In this collection I wanted to convey a sense of ethereal beauty. From a total of over six hundred images I was drawn to the form of these. The camera settings were such that the only light for each photograph came from a remote off-camera speedlight, freezing a moment in time with a flash of light between 1/3000sec and 1/5000sec.
Only Adobe Lightroom was used for post-processing, not Photoshop or AI art generators. Whilst the influence of AI in photography is here to stay, authenticity and emotional depth can only be connected through the lens of one human photographer's eye.
