A large 6ft Smoke print of “S or Smoke” has been installed at The Revere. Previously a Radisson hotel, the Boston hotel has undergone massive renovations (with a 27 million dollar price tag) to turn it into an independant luxury hotel: “The Revere”.. luxurious and stylish! Many months ago I was approached by the art consultant for the hotel, and after some discussions the hotel agreed to purchase a copy of “S for Smoke”. If you’re in Boston, consider dropping […]
Smoke Photography is quite aleatoric. Many people will see completely different things in them, and I always find it very interesting to hear what others see. Even better, to see what others see in my smoke photography. So who better to show that, than fellow-artists? When Talenthouse announced they were opening up the site for some members to create their own creative invite, I jumped on the opportunity and contacted them with my idea to have artists show their interpretation […]
My Smoke Photography is looking divine again.. You may have already seen that Ganesha, the elephant-headed god showed up in one of my smoke pictures about 2 years ago. This time, another god may be seen in the smoke , with a ram or goat head, sitting down with folded knees and hands around the legs. While many gods were depicted with a ram-head, there are two in particular that I think of when looking at the picture: Ikenga, the […]
Earlier this summer I did a couple of maternity shoots, and it seems like my smoke wanted to follow suit.. In my latest smoke shoot, I captured this smoke trail, which could look like a pregnant woman. but maybe you see something else… some more new smoke photography coming soon: a god, a warrior creature, a heart and some more abstract variations..
It has been a couple of months again since my last post with new smoke photography. Here is some new smoke art from a recent shoot.. Shooting smoke with a 21Mpix camera is really wonderful as it will allow full frame pictures to be printed quite large, or on the other hand gives more cropping flexibility while still keeping reasonable resolution.. Have a look at this first picture.. on the left you can see the original smoke trail I captured, […]

What we’re gonna do right here is go back, back into time… that’s what it felt like when I visited Val-Jalbert earlier this month. The historic village of Val-Jalbert is the best preserved ghost town in Canada, abandoned in 1927 when the pulp factory closed shop and the employees had to leave their homes. Still about 70 buildings remain, as well as part of the factory.. the place is quite surreal, but really worth the detour! There is some (french-language […]
The Movement of Aleatoric Modern Artists (MAMA) has created a catalog to represent some of the work of its members. My work ‘Boy and his new Balloon’ was selected for the cover of the publication.Inside the catalog each page has a work and some text, and next to Boy and his new Balloon, this is the text, written by Ray Cabarga: A patient stalker of moments The law of averages dictates that even amidst confusion and chaos, there is an […]
I finally got to taking a picture of the t-shirts Widespread Panic did for their tour, with my Gemini smoke picture on it. The text reads “Her dance needs no body” If you’re interesting in buying this t-shirt, you can go to their merchandise website. Or if you want another t-shirt design with one of my smoke pictures, let me know.
Some more exposure for my Smoke Photography: Digital Photography School interviewed me about how to get started with smoke photography.. Here is the start of the article: Here at DPS we are always on the look out for photographic techniques that are pushing the boundaries of the medium. This week I’m excited to highlight Stoffel De Roover as he gives us a window into the amazing world of “Smoke Art Photography”. If you read our last photographer highlight article, you remember […]
