In preparation for our Dark Angel creative shoot, Vijay and I practised creating and photographing flames in the courtyard.  Safety measures were taken with fire extinguishes in place and the experiment done on hard brick, away from any flammable hazards.

Here’s how it was done.

1. Tape the funnel to one end of the hose and the other to an air pump
2. Tip corn flour into the funnel
3. Position a fire starter above the funnel and light it.
4. Compress the air in the air pump and release the air.
