Light and Dark

Light and Dark

 

There’s something about light painting that makes me feel like I’m in an old movie, like Audrey Hepburn’s Wait Until Dark.  With some of these pictures and scenes it was really interesting to try and imagine them in black and white – and even better to see them in black and white after it was shot.  I have always loved black and white, and combining the shadows and light patterns that come with table top light painting made me enjoy it that much more.  I love that shooting a light painting almost seems like a test – you never quite know what you’re going to get out of each shot, but when you finally get it right, its so rewarding.  With the right settings, right light, and a creative mind, it can make a perfect picture – especially in black and white or less saturated photos!
