Smoke n Mirrors on the Rocks

Inside Smoke n Mirrors on the Rocks

Materials Used

  1. 2 large mirrors
  2. a piece of cotton insulation
  3. bag of fake snow
  4. ice pieces
  5. 1 flashlight
  6. 1 candle
  7. oh ya, and matches

The Set-up

I used a powder room for a studio because it was without windows and I wanted to create total darkness, except for the one candle. The white cotton fabric was first placed on the floor and the two mirrors set facing each other at a 30% angle. (The angle was important to create the effect of the candles going in a circle.)

A flashlight was slid under the fabric to light up the ice. The candle and ice was then set in place. As a finishing touch, fake snow was sprinkled around to create the wintery look.

The Result
one candle and a lot of smoke
