 This was quite tricky to shoot. Two umbrella-speedlights to get me in the shot, followed by darkness during the long exposure to get the flames to show up.
Turns out acetone is better at making flames than methylated spirits :-|
Oh, and my girlfriend's mascara brush is pretty handy for creating burn/singe marks...
