This on is my favorite picture because there is a lot of motion. The model and the lights are both moving together and they are both connecting to form this composition. This photo was taken at a 4 second shutter speed, aperture at F11, and the ISO at 100.
I like this photograph because it’s a creative one. The paint of the light is well made and made a creative form. The pose itself makes it look like the light is being emitted. An outside light is also creating an illusionary effect that the light being “casted” is emitting light.
We took this picture using a slow shutter speed, just enough time to let us to create circular shapes spiraling out from the models hands. Inspiration was grabbed from the anime show “Dragon Ball Z”. Our shutter reached roughly 6 seconds to achieve this light painting technique. We left our ISO to a minimum to avoid grain and put in a high depth of field, the reason for this was to avoid losing focus with all the darkness in the set. The process used started with lighting the subject with a flash, following with a small light after the flash went out.
This picture is interesting because the left figure looks like Christmas tree and the other figure looks like an outline of a human. The light in the middle just gives it something extra. The exposure was 4″.
I like this picture because it is sharp and clear. Also, the model is making a interesting shape that catches my eye. The light being used forms curved lines. This photograph works as a painting with light photo because of the hand-held light source moving capturing a long exposure. In order to get the drawing effect.
I think this is a really successful painting with light photograph. The main subject of this photograph was placed at the rules of third which give the image spaces to breath. The colorful background light effect draws the viewer’s eye, but not interrupt the main subject matter because the flash light on the model’s face make her stands out.
This Photograph is interesting because the light forms curved lines, and the flash help capture the models facial expression, and the light lines show the model was frozen in motion with an exposure of 4″ (4 seconds).
This photo works as a painting with light photograph because the light wraps around the figure with no sign of what is generating the light, and there is no real harsh glare from the light source

This picture taken the class where a student three dinosaur toys at me on me and my facial expression looked scared cause I was being attacked.
Shutter speed 1/640
This picture is a blurry motion where we borrowed a kid skateboard and around it around to capture my partner riding it will taking the picture so it can become very blurry where to the point that we cant see him.
In the first shot where my classmate, Savon, is pointing at the camera, it shows a feeling dominate and power, like “I choose you”. With his finger in the foreground and the rest of him out of focus, this was a good example of combining a depth of field with soft lighting (three point lighting). Gives a motivational feel, like a cover of a magazine.
In the second shot, a wide angle, bird’s eye kind of shot, makes it as though Savon’s head is bigger compared to his “miniature” body.
In the third shot, it wasn’t planned for the shot to have a “blue” lighting, but it works anyways. The facial expression with the backlight and his blue shirt all work together to create a “blue mood”.
In this last shot, with the short 90 degree angle lighting, creates a gloomy feel, with half his face in complete darkness and the other half lit. Also the shadows that “creep” on his clothing, to make it as though he is “creeping from the darkness”.
