Yes, the air flow during such a shooting is definitely a problem, I didn't think about it)
What kind of light source do you use? Directional light from the side?
After all, the background should be black, and the smoke itself can give a shadow to itself.

In general, this is an interesting topic. Sometimes sunlight penetrates through the boards in the barn. If you put clouds of cigarette smoke into it, you get a thin slice with an interesting pattern. We'll have to try to film it))

I always use studio flashes with hard directional light.
To use the exact photo-terms, softbox with honeycomb grid light modifier ;)
Contrejour position from above or sideway light works well, I move the light source during the shoot to add more randomness :)

Thanks for the answer)
Yes, there definitely needs a hard directional light. I don't have such flashes... we'll have to go to the barn in sunny weather. It's dark there, but "hard directional light" comes through the cracks in the boards

This custom-made cheap modifier also works great on smoke ;)

This is an excellent device for receiving directional hard light. Thanks for the hint, I will definitely repeat your trick :)
