What is Light Painting?
Lightpainting is a form of photography where light trails are captured in long exposures; like making shapes with sparklers on Bonfire night.
I deliver interactive lightpainting sessions with participants of all ages at events across the world. I have 50 or so ‘Light Brushes’ and encourage lots of audience participation, allowing people of any ability to create amazing portraits and vibrant abstract light paintings. I also use programmable LED wands which can add text or any digital images in to the shots. This is great for branding or personal messages.
Each image takes around 20 seconds to 1 minute to create. The developing image appears in real-time on a tablet screen or projector so the results are instantly viewable to everyone.
We can set up in almost any environment. We’ve painted with lights on dancefloors, under trees, in foyers and in giant auditoriums. We can even run our experience as a walkabout at your event.
Traditionally lightpainting requires a very dark environment. However I have recently developed techniques which allow me to take amazingly rich photos in relatively bright environments. Every image created is a wonderful, dreamlike collage of colours. This is really liberating and means that I can now work in many more situations than ever before. We can also bring an inflatable blackout tent. It’s 5m square and 4.5m tall.
If you are interested in having lightpainting at your event then please drop me a line or give me a call to discuss how it might work for you.
