The photography with smoke can give very interesting and abstract art results. Many photographers overlap art with smoke photography through the outdoors, indoors and studio-based shots by creating smoke and making it move with air drafts.
This over-lapping area of art is commonly and loosely called 'smoke art photography'. However, technical term for such an art is 'aleatoric smoke art' because of the following two characteristics.
Being created through chance
Randomness of shapes and textures of smoke
Constant fluidity and movement of smoke
Manipulation in shapes through air draft
It is more seen as abstract art through photography that features smoke and its manipulation like a brush. Thus in 'smoke aleatoric art', smoke both viewed as the subject and the medium to art. For a person with science background and interested in photo-art, fluidity, diffusion and aerodynamics can be the technical interests to manipulate smoke as seen in some photographs of cigarette smoke.
Thus, aleatoric smoke Art is the art created as a result of such a chance-determined process involving smoke which is non-figurative or abstract work.
With the help of a camera aleatoric method of photography with smoke is viewed artistic composition since 20th century
Incense, chimney, smoke from smoldering fuel and cigarette smoke has been the subject of many serious photographers. I tried my hand on smoke art photography to enhance my visual intelligence.
