The shot on the front page is really nice and I could see what you mean about the lighting. The rest of the shots just look like candids to me, nothing special. Okay, well, honestly, I only looked at half of page one.
[Edit: Ohhh, they're stills from videos! I get it. It doesn't matter if they're good, this is a fetish thing.]

I agree the quality of the images is not very good, what I meant was the lighting technique was what I'm going for.
And yes, I am a "noob", I'm sorry if I did something wrong.
It does appear to be a fetish site, but I really don't care - I was looking for a good lighting technique to emulate for my shoot and that was the best I found.
You linked to a pay site as your first post ever. Most times, that's spam.
To shoot the smoke like that:
Set the model up in front of a darker background. Light her as you would if you didn't care about the smoke. Then use a gridded strobe pointed toward the camera, but well behind where the smoke would be, angled such that it's not shooting directly into your lens. Use a gobo or flag if you still see the strobe and/or it's causing haze flare in your shots.
It's actually really easy. Exactly how I did these shots (partially 18+) but with colored gels on the strobes and instead of cigarette smoke, it was a fog machine.
