Maybe these are sticks of Indian incense?

Exactly, that's my favorite smoke source, also brings nice aroma to the room. The biggest problem is for me to try to stand still as much as possible and also eliminate all the air drifts inside the room as they destroy the flow.

Also, I cannot withstand more than 2 sticks, it gets hard to breathe after burning them, lol.

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 :)
