A flashlight and a strobe light was used to create this picture. Once the strobe light went off, the subjects were directed to move their flashlights around in order to create streams of light. What works in this picture is that the streams of light fill the frame and create a sense of energy. The subject’s expression matches that energy and her face is nicely lit up as well. In the case of this picture, multiple people went in front of the camera and moved their flashlights around in order to create multiple light streams.

To paint with light, the surrounding area must be dark. A longer exposure is needed to capture the streaks of light from the moving light source. Because the photo is mostly black the light source stands out no matter what position its in. The subtle thin strokes of the light makes the light painting it look elegant. To capture a person with light painting a strobe is needed. Once the strobe light it is flashed, the light source can enter the photo area and paint streaks of light around the subject.

I really like this Photo because  I like how the the beam comes out of the hand showing how powerful it is. The lighting is very bright giving a scare look to the viewer and it is definitely a form of an art. Another thing I like about this photo is that it gives it a very strong background and is not overpowering. Great photo.

The paint with light is creating and energy source out of her hand. You can’t see the object making the light which makes it more interesting. The strobe light lights up her top and on the top the duck is looking up at the light and she is looking at us. This was not planned but i notice it and its strange and funny. She is centered and there is depth. This is why i like this picture it expresses light from darkness.

I chose this image as our most succesful because Marcus has a really silly and fun expression on his face, and the light that we painted on the background really reflects that. To paint with light, we had to first have a flash freeze one initial frame of the image, and then painted with a flashlight covered with a piece of acetate to color the light. We used pink to show romance or love and had Marcus pose with a fun expression. We also cropped this image much closer which made it look a little more intimate and close. By getting rid of all the black space around the subject we tightened the composition and made it a lot more compelling.
