Cheers dude!
I do fire breathing as well (pics are in profile), so I just used my fire breathing torch lol.
I don't mind sharing how I do things, don't see the point in keeping things to yourself :-)

Location
This shot was taken after a fire breathing photo shoot. It was a "let's try this before we head home" idea that I'm glad we did!Time
We wanted to capture some good flames so decided to do this at night and catch the lights of Dundee in the background. We chose to do it later in the evening as a guy breathing fire would probably have caused a bit of attention.Lighting
No external flash was used for this, the only lighting in the shot is caused by the flame as I moved it around Andy.Equipment
This image was shot with a Nikon D3200, 18-55mm kit lens, tripod and a remote shutter.Inspiration
Andy and myself went out to capture some shots of me fire breathing nd to be honest they were a bit boring as I had not long started fire breathing. We started off with just fire trails, then tried football goal posts the decided to try wings. We done two shots of this, the first had only wings and the bottom of the image looked empty so tried it again and you can see the 2nd result.Editing
This is a straight out if camera shot. You can see I have not processed this as my feet are visible at Andy's feet and my face is above his left hand. I later edited the shot removing myself from the background.In my camera bag
What do I normally have in my bag? Well, it depends on what I'm going out to do I suppose. These days I will normally have my D700 with 24-70mm lens, my D5300 with 18-55mm lens, 70-300mm lens and 2 or 3 yongnuo flashes.Feedback
I'm all for people trying to capture something similar but due to it involving fire I do not want to encourage people to be running around with fire!
