Try creating a smoke cloud as your background. Have the model start by directing some smoke behind them for a few seconds before making whatever movement or pose you had in mind. This will create an interesting backdrop and can lend a feeling of mystery as the smoke blocks out most of the background and the model seems to be in their own little smoke-filled world.

Jessica and I went out to Dorothea Dix Park in Raleigh North Carolina behind one of the abandoned buildings. I found a deserted alley, and I tried the smoke bomb on the ground with her walking through it. The smoke bombs were producing as I had hoped, but then I went in close. Jessica has some interesting freckles, good skin, and a pretty, symmetrical face. The fact that she has natural hair was a plus for me.
Warning: placing the smoke in the right place is more than a little bit tricky. You will probably have to try a few times. By holding the "Alt" key of your keyboard and dragging the little squares, you can crop the image. Then resize the red-green window so that it fills the screen as intended. Alternatively, you could search for a software to crop the input video and use it as is.
Right-click on the video source and click "Filter", then the "+" sign in "Effect Filters" and add a "Chroma Key" filter with the default parameters, this will render the green color transparent.

Offensive grenades used concussion, or shock-waves, to wound, while defensive grenades exploded, scattering shell fragments. Gas, smoke and illuminating grenades were also used in World War I. These grenades were made of brass, iron and steel, some with handles of wood and even cardboard. They went by many names: Battye bombs, Citron Foug, Newton-Pippin, Petard, Besozzi, Kugel, Cigaro and Sigwart; and took on many shapes.
The early British front-made grenades were similar to the French, although few were as exotic as foie gras cans. They were mostly jam pots. British development of rifle grenades early in the war was fragmentary. The rod was inserted down the barrel of the service rifle and launched with a special blank cartridge. Rifle grenades were designed to land head-first, but often failed to do so. They carried high explosives, smoke, signals and messages. Late in the war, anti-tank rifle grenades were developed.
British brigade orders issued for the Somme attack on July 1, 1916, stated that the grenade or bombing squads: each non-com would carry 6 mills bombs, 4 rifle grenades and 2 smoke; the 2 bayonet men would carry 12 mills bombs and 4 smoke; the 2 throwers carried 24 mills and 4 smoke; the 2 carriers (reserve throwers) carried 24 mills and 4 smoke and the 2 rifle grenadiers carried 8 mills and 20 rifle grenades for a total of 74 mills bombs, 24 rifle grenades and 14 smoke grenades.
With wedding season on the horizon, I decided to compile a list of 5 things I learned from shooting with smoke bombs.

Mosquito Bombs are made from a combination of 100% dry plant matter to create completely natural smoke that repels mosquitos and other small insects. Dried Coconut Husk, Herbs, Flowers, Camphor Barks, and Neem Leaves are used to make this compact and convenient alternative to synthetic mosquito-repellent coils which are harmful to breathe. Each bomb lasts for up to 1.5 hours and is the perfect deterrent for mosquitos in semi-outdoor areas, such as a patio, courtyard, poolside, or balcony. Each pack contains 3 cones/bombs.
Light one cone (on the side with the hole) on a stovetop for 1 minute. Once lit, you will notice steady smoke emerging from the bomb. After 30 minutes, flip over the cone carefully to allow it to burn through properly. Each cone will last 1.5 hours.

Players with 100 skill in Hiding can detonate a bomb and go into hiding right next to an attacker.
#5. Make Use Of Props
Using props is another shooting technique that can make your image lit up when using smoke for photography. Put the smoke bomb in another object like a prop to conceal it. Umbrellas, birdcages, and lanterns to make it look like the smoke is puffing out of everyday objects. Of course, this is especially important since the smoke will last for a few seconds, and you need to prepare them before you light your smoke bomb.
While using smoke bombs for photography can be fun and exciting, remember that smoke bombs are still pyrotechnics, and there are still some risks and injuries involved with using them. However, you can enjoy using smoke bombs for photography safely with these safety precautions.
#3. Scout For Location Beforehand
There are many hazards to using smoke bombs that require you to light them on fire, so you need to scout for hazard-free locations earlier. Avoid locations with lots of dry areas in the summer because fires can spread quickly. And it is best to come prepared with a bucket of water and a fire extinguisher.
#4. Stay Clear From Public Spaces
While some canisters are supposed to be safe for human use, the smoke might cause eye or throat irritation to some people. Use locations that are scarcely populated. Make it a point to remind people that they can always leave the smoke if it affects them.
#5. Follow Fire and Safety Rules
There is a probability that your area might have locations where smoke bombs are prohibited because of fire hazards. For this reason, it is important to check with your local fire department before using a smoke bomb for photography in a location. Besides, doing so will let you know if there are permits that you need to have before setting off a smoke bomb.
