Did you receive my email ? I wanted to answer your question but it didn't work with this reply... Maybe my message was too long.. anyway I sent it to you by email so I hope you received it ;)
Hello Maris. Thanks again for your comment ! Actually, the word "Studio" that I used in my website it's more a way to "classify" the kind of picture by thema rather than to descibe to room where I'm doing those pictures... Basically I'm taking the picture in my apart and the lights are almost exclusively from the flash I own. So for the smoke picture I have a Speedlight 430 that I use with infra red so it can flash from the side and for the bubble, the light comes from the Macro Twin Lite MT-24EX (really good but unfortunatelly very expensive :( ). I added some more studio work and also added two pages explainng how I did the pictures so you might want to have a look a them and try to do the same at home. I'am really an amateur so you should be able to take the same picture ;) Here is the url for the explanations: kezz.org/photographie/fumee/comment/index.htm for the smoke and kezz.org/photographie/bubble/comment/index.htm for the macro. It's in french but you can use google and its language tools to translate the page in an approximate english ;) (as in french you need accent and since I live in Japan and I don't have accent on my keyboard, I added each letter with an accent one by one copying and pasting so the automatic translation should work ;) I did this for you so you can read them and only for those two pages so probably the translation won't work for the rest of my site, which usually don't have accent)

I was looking your website. Amazing Studio work. I admire you. I have always wanted to do smoke and bubbles pictures, like yours, but I cant do them. I dont know why. How many lamps have you in studio?
