Mehendi is a colourful function as it is, but when you combine some random smoke sticks with the guests and all around, then it's just so happy happy! It can work especially well for a Holi themed Mehendi party!

Tips to keep in mind

  • There are two types- one that has to be ignited and the other which has a grenade like wire-pull mechanism. Prefer the latter which are cool smoke bombs. 
  • You'll need more than one! One stick produces smoke for about 60-90 seconds, so you need to have a couple to get the perfect shot!
  • It can get messy- some smoke bombs or sticks can leave behind a residue or stain, so carry a change just in case!
  • Prefer using them for outdoor photography only, but wind can play spoilsport, so keep that in mind. 
  • Lighting is also important for smoke bomb photography. Shoot with it at a time when the sun is not harsh. Daytime works better than night while using smoke sticks and bombs. When using them at night, proper lighting is essential.
  • Carry trash bags and water to put them out and dispose off properly after the shoot is done. 

So, you think it's a good idea?
