Planning to shoot ancillary texts:
for this I am using some smoke photography meaning that I am to be working with fire and therefor need ensure I am aware of the risks.
When researching how to create smoke photography upon youtube I found this video which highlights one of the obvious health and saftey risks

Smoke photography

            

After tonnes of research and viewing tutorials, as well as the following test shots I have decided that I haven't got the technology to capture a professional image of smoke and therefore have had to search for other means of technology and software. In which from my research I have found that I can use Photoshop brush tools and create the images using photoshop.
