FAQ
How is this safe?
Through experience and practice! You will not be burned. We use a water barrier between your skin and the fire foam we use to create our flames.
It might startle you, but we walk you thru each step and it will definitely thrill you. We do not work with anyone under the age of 18.
Does it Hurt?
No! You will feel heat and get wet. You will not be burned. The water barrier we use prevents burns and heat rises. Some people have more sensitive skin than others and you may feel tender afterwards.
Where do we shoot?
Anywhere! We can shoot indoors or outdoors. We are able to come to your home, host you at our home based photography studio in North Renton, or scout an outdoor location in Seattle such as the Arboretum, Gasworks, or Seward Park.
How should we dress for fire?
Almost anything is fine to wear. Avoid lace, frill, and other obvious synthetics. You can wear a costume or nothing at all. A lot of our art is nude and we are a regular contributor to the Seattle Erotic Art Festival.
Our consent and comfort standards are superb as we aim to make you as at ease as possible while doing fireplay. Any gender or expression, Flame Friends is a safe space for all bodies.
How many pictures will we receive?
For private party sessions, each guest receives 3-4 images created for sharing online and with friends or just for your private collection.
Private shoots for an individual client or small group typically generate between 12-15 final images.
Couples' shoots include two individual shoots, and a joint shoot, with around 20-30 images.
What else do you do?
Well... Jed and Jeff are experienced fire performers as well as fireplay guides. You can book us for an event too!
Jed handles staff, fan, swords, and breathes fire.
Jeff handles a jumprope, a bullwhip, and eats and breathes fire.
We also shoot short form video at our photo sessions, typically in slow motion. Perfect for Instagram!
Laugh, goof around, let us make you shine!

Safety
Safety First
Flame Friends is committed to the safety of everyone involved in our events and photo shoots. Safety comes first, then we make art.
Our Fuel
Fire Foam
We use a specific fuel blend designed to give a flare-up flame that is bright, large, yet brief. Total time on fire is less than 2 seconds.
Use Water
Water Barrier
The Fire Master sprays the skin area being lit on fire, as well as all areas of the body that may be affected by flame, such as hair, with Water.
Flame On
Trust Jed
The Fire Master keeps a wetted Safety Blanket on him at all times, which he uses to put out the flames right after the ignition.
