Two colors: In battle or Hand in hand?

Inspired by a recent comment by a fellow photographer here on Hive, I have decided to share with you today a new set of photographs from one of my favorite projects of smoke and hard light in the studio.

However, this time, instead of pure Black and White, I tested coloring the shadows and the highlights with two different colors, thus adding a bit more artistic feel to the captures.

I think I like them that way, I hope you do too! :) Anyway, even if you don't, all your feedback is welcome! :)

I have to admit, that sometimes I imagine framed prints of some of these, hanging on my walls. Perhaps I have to do that and see how that fits in my home :)

You know, this has also inspired me too.

What was the source of the smoke?

These photos are so awesome. How you get the colors like that. It's like focus on the subject for a few seconds, let the light shine through. I don't know much about shutter speed !

Hey! As for this project here I use studio strobe lights, pro grade, they have a very short light impulse, approximately 10 ms long. As there is no ambient light in the room, the shutter speed actually doesn't matter a lot. 1/60 or 1/125 would do ;)

Ah, I forgot to answer the other question - I used Lightroom to color the highlights and shadows in blue and brown ;)

These are amazing! I see a woman in the first one. I'm adding smoke pictures to my looooong list of things I want to try!

The shots are beautiful. In my opinion, flow and focus should be seen a little more in the movement of smoke. Not all smoke is in focus
