There were two flashes covered with blue gels. One was place below the pipe and
the other was behind her head. Then I put a small beauty dish above her head
and covered it with a more transparent blue plastic - just enough to add some
more blue on the hair but not on the face. There was a bigger beauty dish
pointed to her nose. No blue gel here as I wanted her face to look normal. The
light spills from the blue gels of the other light sources add a bit of hue to
her face and I thought that was okay. I set the white balance on Daylight to
make her face a bit warmer.
For the smoke, we just have to keep shooting until we got
the result that we desired. I asked the model to practice smoking the pipe a
few days before so I think that helped. By the time we were done, while I
needed a smoke, my poor model told me that she was done smoking for the day.
