Introduction to Light Painting

You only need a few basic tools to start out, but a kit of knowledge about the techniques helps. Read this to get started.

Light Painting - Long Exposure Photography

Light Painting. Art. Photography. Performance. Expression.

I'm a light artist, a photographer who shoots in the dark. Using various Light Painting techniques I create images by manipulating light during a long exposure. By moving light sources and selectively illuminaing parts of a scene while the shutter is open for extended periods of time, the image is built up in the camera sensor.

Darkness is my canvas. Light is my paint.

About Me

I've been creating art with light for two years now. I loved light painting from the very first time I tried it, and became hooked instantly. My style and techniques have developed dramatically since then, and are developing further all the time. I like to try out new techniques and occasionally like to spice things up by combining light painting with Urban Exploration.
