This is some of the sickest Light Painting Photography, or more specifically Light Art Performance Photography (LAPP), using FIRE as the light source that we have seen in a while…. and a well produced video all about it! I personally am a canon user but this in camera multiple exposure “thing” that Nikon has is pretty awesome… Canon corporate people if your reading this, steal that little feature please. Feast your eyes on some awesomeness.

Incredible Pictures…like it a lot !!! I don`t care if it`s one shot or a multiple exposure SOOC…the main thing is that it is no photoshop fake. Great Work !!!

Hey Mike,
I agree these are more LAPP than traditional light painting photography. Kind of a cross between stroboscopic, light painting, and light art performance photography. Still they are said to all be SOOC. it goes to the debate of what is altering an image and what is not. if you shoot film double exposures are they any different than what the nikon does in camera? and then if this is not light painting is a film double or quadruple exposure not light painting? Not sure how to categorize this but the images are incredible….
Mike says
My definition is that it a true light painted image is created in a single exposure with the shutter remaining open for the duration. You can cover the lens and move the camera and create multiple exposures on the sensor or film, but it is all done in a single click. With this new technology coming to cameras, SOOC will no longer legitimize a light painters work. Maybe we need to adapt a new term, (SCI), Single Click Image?

But this is by no means new technology. I used it on traditional film (slide film) in the 80s. Was quite tricky do to, because you had to reload the camera without rolling the film. It just a digital version of a very old technique.
And I can’t see, why lightpainting would require a single click. I did many light paintings where I took a photo of some night scenery and added the light painting in a second exposure somerwhere else.
Anyway these are awesome pictures. It’s a little like good old picasso trying to capture motion on a painting … painting the object more than once. Still it is paining.
An artist tries to go beyond the existing limitations. And these guys are some great artists.
