Smoking and photography: a match made in heavenly decadence. Smoke gave photographers mood and drama (and another thing to blame for grainy negatives).
Fotozini #2 presents a jolly crew of handymen and handywomen turning smoke detectors into happiness hotspots. Dive into our visual course on “How to Smoke” for children, and see how Turkish TV put a floral spin on cigarettes in Hollywood films. See how corny 1970s birthday cards always include - apart from cameras and light metres - cigars or cigarettes. We also collected a treasure trove of ashtrays and packets of cigarettes from the East and the West that are simply… yes, to die for.
