Atmosphere Aerosol – FAQ & Buy
Questions, answered
Everything you need to order with confidence
If your question is not here, just call or email — we are happy to talk through your shoot before you buy.
Is it safe? Is it toxic?
Atmosphere Aerosol is a clear, non-toxic haze. As with any aerosol, use it in a well-ventilated space and follow the directions on the can. It leaves no oily residue in normal use, but always test in your space first.
Will it leave residue on my gear or set?
Used as directed in a ventilated space, it is designed to disperse cleanly. For long sessions or sensitive equipment and surfaces, keep the area ventilated, avoid over-spraying, and wipe down afterwards if needed. Test first if you are worried about a specific surface.
How long does the haze last?
It depends on the air. In a still, sealed room it can hang for a good while; with any air movement it clears faster. That is a feature — you top up with a quick burst between takes to keep it consistent.
How much can one can do?
A little goes a long way, so a single can covers plenty of setups. Exactly how many depends on room size and how heavy you like your haze. For big spaces or all-day shoots, grab a couple of cans.
Do I need a fog machine or any other gear?
No. That is the point — it is a self-contained alternative to a fog machine. Just the can, a still space and your camera. Set dressers and photographers keep one in the bag for exactly this reason.
Will it set off smoke alarms?
Like any haze or fog product it can potentially trigger sensitive smoke or fire-detection systems. On location, always check with the venue first and be mindful of alarms and sprinklers before you spray.
Can I use it outdoors?
It works best in still, windless conditions, so indoors or sheltered spots are ideal. Outdoors it can still work on a dead-calm day, but any breeze will carry the haze away quickly.
Do you ship it Australia-wide?
We ship across Australia and New Zealand, with one exception: due to aerosol transport rules it cannot be shipped to TAS or NT. If you are unsure, get in touch before you order.
