My friend Kyle is pretty handy. Among other things, he builds barbecues and smokers out of old propane tanks. This was a portrait done in his workshop with some cool tools and a few speedlights.

Tech Details

Set: Kyle's workshop with a completed smoker and a fresh tank

Lights: Canon 580exII, 2x LumoPro LP160

Other Notes: We almost didn't get this shot because I thought that turning on the torch would be too cheesy. We decided to try it anyway, and it was by far my favorite shot. You're already there, lights are already set up, shoot everything you think could work.
