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 creates some of the most awe inspiring light painting portraits in the world! His work is just incredible, Patrick uses vivid color combinations together with his unique brushstrokes to produce amazing works of ART.

Photography wise I’ve been working solo since 1992 but often I do collaborations. For live performances I was part of a few groups. With friends we created “Light Warriors Tokyo”, “Liquid Vision” and “Boa”. Now I work under my name and build teams for each project.

4.What is your level of Education?
College degree in photography, but I must say that the biggest learning I did was from traveling, living all kinds of experiences and specially from meeting great people and exchanging with them.

Since 1991 when I graduated.

10.Film or Digital?
15 years of film, now digital and I’m loving it.

11. Do you believe in aliens?
Well I like to be logical and I love observing. I try to stay away from beliefs. of course I love looking at the stars and how vast cosmos is. When I do i think ” it can’t all be dead out there”. There are two very interesting article to read.

From the New York Time:
