I've been a serious light painter for two and a half years now.  I started by learning some basic tools and what I could do with them.  After a time I returned to my background of being a studio model photographer and really focused on using light painting techniques in model photography.  During that time I really focused on the model rather than the lights; the lights were a tool but the picture was really more about the person.

I got a chance to shoot with a new friend a week or two ago and asked her if she wanted to try something more experimental.  You see, early on I saw the work of Aurora Crowley and wanted to try some stuff in that vein.  I've barely interacted with Aurora and I don't know how much of his stuff is in-camera and how much of it is post but I loved his style and wanted to see what I could do with that as inspiration.  He shot with models, he shot with lights, he shot on non-black backgrounds, he composed shots and also let them drip with emotion.  When she said she liked the idea of experimenting... it was time to experiment.

This is a new style I'm unveiling and I expect to shoot a lot more of it in the near future.  A big thanks to her for doing this with me.  We had a blast and it's the start of things to come.Some black and white, some color, some images that involve models but also very much involve the lights.  It's time to flow and emote!
