In this week's macro photography tutorial, I put a hand-held smoke machine to use taking easy macro photos at home. I show how I use flash lighting, settings and gorgeous smoke patterns to create a commercial product photo that's simple for you to shoot too.
I also show how I retouch my commercial product photos in Lightroom and Photoshop, doing colour correction, dust and spot removal and using the pen tool and masking to help clean dirt and smudges off glassware.
The smoke machine is the Smoke Genie by PMI Gear. Find out more here: https://mysmokegenie.co.uk/
