![]() ![]() ![]() Very few lamps are able to actually create a continuously subtle transition between bright light and darkness. If the light is pointed directly at the camera, the result is a bright and glimmering spot, yet as it turns away, the stroke becomes thinner and thinner until it disappears. With a brush and paint, the line thickness is influenced by the amount of pressure applied, but a stroke with the flashlight becomes more intense the more directly it is captured by the camera. The design of LEDs, reflectors, lenses and even safety glasses influences the internal configuration of the light and, therefore, the dynamics of the light drawing. ![]() Besides their light color and brightness, lamps vary greatly in how they emit light. Finding the perfect lamp isn't exactly a quick task, since seeing the results in the photograph is the only way to truly tell if a light is good for the task. Most of our photos are painted with LED lamps, which make all the difference in the world when it comes to detail. We've experimented with a lot of complex, colorful, blinking lights, but in the end we always turn back to bright yet simple light sources. Lightmark No.63ěriksdalsglacier in Jostedal Glacier National Park, Norway. The ball was created by spinning a LED flashlight attached to a band in a circle as well as around the painter's own axis." The first two nights were so bad that we couldn't photograph a single thing, but it was a beautiful hike nonetheless! The third night was a charm - perfectly clear as you see here. From below, it was impossible to tell what the weather would be like above. "It took a three-hour uphill hike on a frozen path to reach the foot of the glacier and three nights to create this photograph. Others throw fluorescent boomerangs, send boats carrying candles over water, or tag tiny lights on herds of sheep. People juggle with Star Wars light sabers, develop their own pyrotechnics and program blinking LED arrays in order to make complex designs using extended exposure to capture constant motion. Classic objects are LED flashlights or light bulbs, but the imagination certainly knows no limits. To paint with light, all you really need is something that shines and can be moved. It's an excellent tool for experimentation. Light painting has experienced a massive boom in the last couple decades largely due to digital photography, which allows photographers to see instantly what they have just photographed.

Using a digital medium format camera for their photography, Goepel and Warnecke focus on photographic techniques rather than post processing to achieve the results they are aiming for. Seen through the viewfinder, the landscape often appears as solidly black. Long exposures, up to an hour in length, are required to allow torchlight to take form and for the very low level of ambient light, usually from the moon, to illuminate the scenery. The resultant ethereal images inhabit a dramatic and often eerie landscape. "Lightmark," the body of work by the German artists Cenci Goepel and Jens Warnecke, was created by photographing moving light sources at night.
