The Great Awakening Video Manifesto by Patrick Rochon

January 4, 2021 by Jason D. Page

The Great Awakening

Light Painting Photographer  Patrick Rochon took some time away from the digital world to dive deep into Light Painting. Focused on learning more about the deeper meaning of what it is that we, as Light Painting Artists, do. Patrick has created a meaningful new video Manifesto sharing some of what he has learned on his journey with LIGHT. I am sure you will find inspiration in this video, but I also hope you find inspiration in how Patrick gained this knowledge. Stopping and taking the time to think deeply into the medium of LIGHT is so important. Enjoy the video and you can also read more about Patrick’s journey here.

Patrick Rochon’s 8 hour Light Painting Workshop for FREE!

December 18, 2020 by Jason D. Page

Light Painting Workshop by Patrick Rochon

Back in 2013 Light Painting Photographer Patrick Rochon recorded an in depth 2 day workshop for the Educational website Learnster. Unfortunately the the Learnster team had to close up shop but their closure gave Patrick the ability to release his workshop for FREE. Patrick has allowed me to share all the videos with the Light Painting Photography family here on the website! Patrick’s Light Painting work is amazing and inspiring, especially inspired by his Light Painting Portraits which you will learn about in this series of videos! If you can take the time to watch through these tutorials I am positive you will receive some valuable knowledge from them! I have placed all the videos from the tutorial series with a brief description down below for you to check out! Enjoy!

01 – INTRO
In the first segment, Patrick takes time to introduce himself and show some amazing examples from his personal portfolio to inspire us. He also talks about how he got into light painting and shares some of his experiences living and working around the world.

02 – TOOLS
During this segment, Patrick talks about the basic techniques and camera settings required for capturing your work. He also shares with us a large selection of lights he uses and how he modifies and adjusts them to create stunning and unique textures and effects ranging from fire to water.

03 – STUDIO
In this segment, Patrick explains how to set up your studio, how dark it needs to be, and most importantly – how to work effectively and efficiently in the dark. He shares his tips and tricks for placement of tools, how to use red lights as markers, and how to tape out your working area so you know when you are in and out of the frame.

04 – DEMO
This segment is a live demonstration in the dark of all the different tools/light that he brought with him. He also shows us how he moves with the lights and how to create interesting patterns using movement, speed, and space.

05 – JAM
Patrick truly believes that anyone can light paint, all you need are some lights, a camera with a manual setting, a long exposure, and a dark space and away you go. He proved this by selecting a couple of members of our crew for a live impromptu demonstration and the results are pretty impressive considering they have never done anything like this before.

06 – REVIEW
During the first segment of day two, Patrick takes some time to share some online resources. He also shares some examples of portraits that he has done and talks about how he gets prepared to shoot a portrait. He also reviews some of the basics including the camera settings from the previous day.

07 – BASIC
For this segment, Patrick explains how he prepares the model for working in the dark. He also explains eye sensitivity and how to deal with models that have sensitive eyes. He then teaches how to light the models face first using different styles of light and why it is important that this step is done first and only once.

08 – EFFECTS
Building upon the information in the previous segment, Patrick now moves into the more creative background lighting effects. He demonstrates different lights and how to create mood and texture in the space around the model. The end results are absolutely stunning, all of the images you see are straight out of the camera without any photoshop or alterations.

09 – AIRBRUSH
During the final segment with a live model, Patrick continues to build and teach additional lighting techniques that he used when shooting portraits. He focuses mainly on soft airbrush-like lighting on the model’s face then continues to add drama in the background with more effects and lights.

10 – POST
Patrick goes to great lengths to get remarkable images straight out of the camera but understands that sometimes some post-production might be required. During this segment, he takes one of the images from the workshop and demonstrates some of his favorite post-production tools and tricks.

11 – Q&A
At the end of the workshop, Patrick sat down with Rob Lawrence of Learnster to reflect on his time here and to answer some questions from the audience.

Patrick Rochon: Light Painting to launch the new Infiniti Q30

September 1, 2016 by Jason D. Page

Q30_P.Rochon_7553

Light Painting Artist Patrick Rochon has teamed up once again with Infiniti, this time it was to to Launch their new luxury vehicle the Infiniti Q30! With just a single months notice Patrick created some exquisite light paintings of the Q30, a light painting video featuring a illuminated hero of his own creation and he even pulled off a live performance in front of thousands of people at the famous club O1ne in Beirut, Lebanon.

Patrick said “This project gave me the opportunity to demonstrate lighting a car using 100% light painting; generating images in camera that are sexy, layered and close to finished without spending days of retouching reflections on the car to make it look great.” Here are a few of the images Patrick created with the Q30.


With that much to do in such a short time I think most of us would have been in full panic mode but Patrick has been in these situations before. Being one of the most accomplished commercial Light Painters today Patrick was able to pull his team together and rise to the occasion! I especially loved the concept of revealing the car using Live Light Painting (check out the last video). Bravo Patrick well done!

Check out the videos below, and for the full story head over to Patrick’s website HERE.

Patrick Rochon’s new Light Painting Kata’s

October 13, 2015 by Jason D. Page

Light_Painting_Kata_Patrick_Rochon_8667



Patrick Rochon’s new Light Painting Kata’s are so beautiful they might make your eyes bleed. Seriously these new Light Paintings are stunning. The mix of color and free flow form captures light in exquisite beauty. This new work is just the tip of the iceberg in what Patrick has going on including a new website and signing with an agency that is sure to bring Patrick even more well deserved success!  Check out the video and read on of all the details.

Video by Pierre Tremblay, Listo films http://www.listofilms.com
Music by APigeon http://apigeon.bandcamp.com

LPP ∇ Hi Patrick, your new Light Painting Kata’s are really beautiful! To me they feel like there is some emotion and meaning behind them, can you tell me what the Light Painting Kata’s mean to you?

PR ∇ The LP kata has a personal and professional importance to me. It is a practice, an
exploration and discipline I’ve integrated in my life. The Kata is where I learn about myself and the art of light painting. This freestyle practice is transformative, it allows for non-control to take place, so in other terms, for intuition and instinct to grow. It gets you in a space of “feeling” the creation. In a way the kata is my teacher.
Light_Painting_Kata_Patrick_Rochon_8672
LPP ∇ How did these images come about?
PR ∇ The creative process is fascinating for me. Why one day it works like a charm and other days, well no much comes out. Same person, same tools, but it seems like every moment has its gifts and disappointments.
Well when you observe yourself carefully, internally and see what comes out, you start to see how feelings, emotions and results are all connected. It’s like the guts and heard transmits as much data has the brain. So after a while observing, you can piece it altogether and “see” the process taking place like an internal map. You know when it’s time to push, time to rest and step back or time to change direction.
So, I practice a lot and disregard many images. All the images are part of the growing process, of the trail we take to get there so they are all important, but I only share the special ones, the peaks. The only goal is practice often and regularly. Switching to process orientation and away from result orientation. Through time you see yourself evolving with, it’s like your body learns automatically so all you have to do is show up and create the moment you are living, good or bad. That’s how these images came to be, process.
Light_Painting_Kata_Patrick_Rochon_8577
LPP ∇ I knew there was something deep going on with these… What is the vibe when you are making the Katas? Is it in silence or do you listen to music when you are creating them, if so what is it?
PR ∇ I do and right now I often let Soundcloud to the choice for me, it often goes into
good shuffle directions. Here is a link of a mix I like: Nickodemus Robot Heart
Light_Painting_Kata_Patrick_Rochon_5368
LPP ∇ What you are using to make them and how you are getting those incredible colors?
PR ∇ I always use my Liteblades to do the katas. It gives the result I’m looking for, it inspires me to improve the tools and explore other possibilities. I play and modify the tools with tape, filters, textures… The tips are open so light comes through the front end so it gives me the options of adding different colours there and by using those and irises with black tape to control the quantity of light, it can create high lights and explosions when pointed to the lens.
I research my colours and find good combinations. I work with Lee and Rosco gels. I love the sample packs, they help a lot to find many variations of colours. Right now I work with prototypes that are bigger, it gives the impression of the light sword.

LPP ∇ Is there a feeling you hope people will have when they are viewing these images?
PR ∇ I think it’s personal. Everyone will feel different or see these differently. I hope people take time to be absorbed by the light in my images, taking time instead of zapping through, to become fascinated once again like a child, being sensitive to layers of their own imagination and inner selves.

Light_Painting_Kata_Patrick_Rochon_5348
LPP ∇ There have been some big changes in your life with your new website, which looks fantastic, and you have recently signed with a new Agency, Can you tell me more about that?

PR ∇ It’s been busy, I’m always seeking the next step and pushing myself further in my own process. It’s like a journey without a map where you need to trust your own feelings to get to places you didn’t expect.
When I met the agency Suzy Johnston & Associates a few years ago, I was impressed by the level of professionalism and consideration they had towards the other. But unfortunately, they rarely integrate new talents such as myself so we kept a good contact and I emailed them my work once in a while. After doing the Inspired Light project with Infiniti in Dubai, and while I was still dealing with the show in Saudi Arabia, my partner and I need support for negotiations and putting the right elements in place. I reached out to the agency and proposed a collaboration.
This collaboration allowed us to work together and gave us the chance to start a professional relationship. Since the connection, the chemistry and the flow was right, they offered to integrate me in the agency as one of their talents. So, we did the launch and announcement it in September.
I have to say, being surrounded by great professional people, is very inspiring and I feel the influence adding to my experience and knowledge. Of course soon after they asked me to create a new website to enhance and represent my work better. The older site didn’t give an overall view of what I do. It was hard to see my work for the people visiting, so many clicks and to much digging to get it… So, it took a period of three months to accomplish this new site, from searching platforms and templates to re-sizing and enhancing over two hundred images plus combining the shop, the blog, galleries and the choosing the artistic direction of it all….

LPP ∇ With everything I am seeing it feels like you have gone through a bit of a metamorphosis, is this limited to your website or is this in your Light Painting work and/or personally as well?
PR ∇ All is connected, the changes are affecting every part of your life, of my life. Change is everywhere right now, that’s what I’m seeing and feeling.
Light_Painting_Kata_Patrick_Rochon_5034

LPP ∇ One last question; What is the one person, place, or thing that you would really love to light paint?
PR ∇ Good question, I’ll get back to you with a result. 😉

LPP ∇ Congrats again on everything and signing with Suzy Johnston! I hope your success continues and grows my friend.

PR ∇ Thank you.

Patrick Rochon The Light Painting KATA

July 19, 2013 by Jason D. Page

Light-Painting_KATA_Patrick-Rochon_1709
Incredible new images and a beautiful explanation of his light painting work from Patrick Rochon. The Light Painting KATA.


Getting to the essence of what I do,
I now understand that light painting is above all, movement.
To me, it is a mix of dancing and martial arts.
Light moves everywhere all the time.
Our bodies are emitting light and expressing something subtle but important.
We must see it and understand it.
We must reveal it’s secrets and knowledge.
I believe it is a key connected to our consciousness.

The light painting KATA is the expression of the light we move and create everyday and the trace we leave behind.
-PATRICK ROCHON

From Wikipedia:
In Japanese language, kata (though written as 方) is a frequently-used suffix meaning “way of doing,” with emphasis on the form and order of the process.
Other meanings are “training method” and “formal exercise.”

The goal of a painter’s practicing, for example, is to merge his consciousness with his brush; the potter’s with his clay; the garden designer’s with the materials of the garden.
Once such mastery is achieved, the theory goes, the doing of a thing perfectly is as easy as thinking it.

Patrick Rochon and Timecode Lab’s 24×360 Light Painting Project

December 27, 2012 by Jason D. Page

By now most of you have probably already seen this amazing 360º light painting project by Patrick Rochon and Timecode Lab [Stephane and Eric]. I tried to get these three creatives together for an interview when this first came out but Patrick was in Vegas creating more light painting awesomeness for a show out there. Now that things have settled down a bit for this light painting master and the geniuses at Timecode Lab I had the chance to catch up with them to hear a little more about this project.

24×360 from Timecode Lab on Vimeo.

LPP ∇ Your 24×360 light painting project looks really great can you tell me a little more about it, who was involved and how long did it take for the project from concept to finished images?

TCL ∇ [Stephane] Timecode Lab started doing bullet time photography for brand activation events on 2011 and Eric has been involved since the beginning. After about 20 different events and an absolutely crazy 2012 summer, it was time go back in our studio, set up the rig for ourselves and start having fun with it.

LPP ∇ How did the project come about? What was the inspiration?

[Stephane] We then met Patrick who was doing light painting for a Chevrolet project were Timecode Lab was involved. All of a sudden it became clear that light painting + 360 bullet time would create something new and magic.

LPP ∇ The set up for something like this must be immense, what kind of equipment did you use and how much of it?

TCL ∇ [Stephane] We used 24 Canon T3 with kit lenses (18-55) at 18mm. All the cameras are mounted on a 19 feet steel rig. They are all triggered at the same time via a custom “trigger cable” that was
developed by our team. Shots are done in manual mode, so the light painter can really decided how long he wants the exposure to be. Once the light painting is done the artist can visualize is creation on a preview screen were all the 24 images starts rotating

LPP ∇ Was the shoot sponsored by anyone?

TCL ∇ [Eric] No. Most of the people involved in the project did it for free.

LPP ∇ How many tries until you got the first good one?

PR ∇ [Patrick] It’s random and it depend on what you want to achieve. I had some sow come out great from the first go and others take 10-12 takes…

LPP ∇ What was the average exposure time?

PR ∇ [Patrick] I go for an average of two minutes

LPP ∇ What will the images be used for?

TCL ∇ [Eric] It was an artistic project. My harddrive (and my backup) could have burned and I would still be happy. Being able to showcase the pictures is cool, but it is nothing compared to the joy of making the project itself

LPP ∇ Which one is your personal favorite?

PR ∇ [Patrick] On every shoot there was challenges and victories so all that we show means something important. The first shoot with Genevieve Borne stays special because it was such a new way to work and light paint having cameras that sees every angle of your lights plus you can’t be in the way of any of the cameras or you create shadows. We did the shoot in three hours and were blown away by the result. All instinct no fears! Here is my first shoot using a live model in 360:

http://24×360.com/artist/genevieve-borne

LPP ∇ What is the next step? Do you see this 360 project as an evolving one or do you feel it is completed?

TCL ∇ Next step, well pushing the 360 video of course….

Its Official.

July 2, 2011 by Jason D. Page

Light Painting Master Partick Rochon officially declares it and I agree what are your thoughts?

I now declare Light Painting as form of art on its own.
It is the art of moving light and mixture painting and photography.
This art is a new way to express and explore the inner and the unseen. From now on, it is a form of art here, for all of us to enjoy.
Light Painting is now born.
