How to Light Paint a Creepy Halloween Mask

Light Painting a Halloween Mask

In this Light Painting Photography tutorial, I show how to Light Paint a creepy, custom-made mask I received from artist Annie Jones. Using a combination of tools from LightPaintingBrushes.com and SpiffyGear.com, I worked to bring out the eerie textures and haunting character of the mask — all captured in one single long exposure!

I illuminated the mask from below to emphasize its shadows and surface texture. To enhance the eyes, I used the Blue Light Pen. I added Fiber Optic effects for visual texture and a glowing backdrop, and finished the image with glowing lines created using the KYU-6 wearable LED.
