SHOOT AN ’80S PORTRAIT

1 EVENING

Light painting is a great way to get into long-exposure photography, and it enables us to shape light in all kinds of creative ways. Most of the time we’ll use a powerful torch in low light or at night to visually paint a scene, and the results can be spectacular. However, for this project we’re going to take a different approach, and place gelled torches in hollow plastic rods covered in translucent paper to create a light wand that features heavily in the creation of the final image.
