What is light painting?
So you’ve seen the photos and found this website but you may be asking yourself, what is this ‘light painting’ that everyone is referring to?
Light painting (light drawing, light graffiti) is a photographic technique, using a combination of long exposure and light source(s) in dark environment.
This allows the photographer to edit and ‘create’ the image they are capturing by adding shapes and textures of light. In most instances the light source is moved during the exposure, with the camera capturing all the light emitted during that time.
The stationary objects to remain in focus, whilst adding a wide range of shapes and/or colours. A simple and well known example of this would be writing your name with a sparkler.
Once you begin experimenting with light painting you’ll begin to find a wide range of accessories that can be used to enhance your images, by adding additional depth through shapes, colour and texture.
