Painting with light.
Creative direction.
Looking to attempt light graffiti to draw some great images with wire wool, floating candles, matches, sparklers and glow sticks.
To do this I will be spinning things around, zig zagging, scribbling, dropping, flashing, basically anything to create some amazing pictures.
Location- Anywhere pitch black, a dark room or somewhere outside with not much light. I need as less light exposure as possible so the camera only catches the light needed.
Concept development – So far just playing with ideas of using different equipment and lighting, and hoping to find the perfect thing/idea on my practices.
I developed my ideas by drawing random shapes and working out which shape was best. I decided to draw circles with all of my different lighting equipment as I felt those worked best.
Technical Considerations.
Lights – Sparklers, floating candles, matches, glow sticks, wire wool – all of which are very cheap.
Camera – Nikon D40
Action – took about 2 hours all in total. No need to set any lighting up as needed it as dark as I could get it. Took time to get all the equipment light as different weathers affected this.
