Yesterday, my favorite muse wanted some pictures. It was late, and we were really tired, but how can you say no to beauty?As always, I wanted something unique for her. I had just finished another photo shoot the day before, my studio area was a mayor disaster. (I hauled 500 lbs. of sand in my studio, to make a dessert set) and it was cold. Sometimes you just need to stand still and let inspiration come to you. open your mind's eyes and ears.
It came to me, an old technique that I hadn't tried in years. A very classic painting look. It's called light painting or painting with light. Requires long exposures, a source of continuous light and a model who's able to be still for a reasonable amount of time. Well, I had my trusty Mag-lite, my muse and a pool green background. That's all it took. Love the feeling of the image. like a painting. an eerie feeling. dark yet warm.
