 Took this whilst I was at home with the Flu. Chilli is in a bamboo pole sticking straight out from my black cloth. You can see a little bit of the pose unfortunately.
The smoke comes from a piece of incense which is also mounted to the bamboo pole so is hidden by the chilli.
Lighting is a single studio light to the back right, and a silver reflector on the left.
