Tutorial: Painting With Fire Video

I get asked all the time to show how I make fire pictures. Well thanks to the amazing directorial and camera skills of my lovely wife, I here present a brief look at fire blowing, throwing, and spinning. We use road flares, steel / wire wool, magnesium, hairspray and corn flour. Epic is probably the word that’ll spring to your mind.

After filming the little behind the scenes tutorial, we went back and re-staged every shot for a proper photo. I’ll post the settings and the how-to soon. But for now, this is what you can achieve at relative safety, for little money, and just a little imagination.
