Light Painting Artist Ruben Martinez creates exquisite and unique Light Painting Photography. Known for his incredible Light Painting Portraits created using Fiber Optics from Light Painting Brushes, Ruben captures the soul of his subjects. While I was in Las Vegas I went to meet Ruben at his gallery. Ruben shared the story of his Light Painting journey with me. He also told me about the way that Light Painting has transformed not only his life but the lives of the people he has created with. I was moved by his story so I asked Ruben if he would let me record him so I could share his story with our community. We both hope you find some inspiration in images and words in this video! We are all one.

Spinning Time in Las Vegas. In this episode of the Light Painting VLOG I am in Las Vegas and create camera rotations of the bright neon lights all around the town. My main focus on this VLOG is Resorts World Las Vegas because, like me, they are also a Partner with Theta Network. Camera Rotation is a form of Kinetic Light Painting in that the lights in the scene stay stationary with the camera is what moves to create the color and design within the single long exposure photograph. I use a custom built camera rotation tool in this video but you can find an off the shelf solution in this full Camera Rotation Tutorial that I made here: https://youtu.be/G0ZFD9hj5fs

This VLOG is dedicated to my mom who passed on shortly after our time in Vegas together. She always encouraged me to follow my dreams and she was always there to support me along the way. She taught me to work hard to create the life you want. She taught me there was always a way and to never give up. She taught me to always get back up when life knocks you down. She taught me to always be kind because you never know what someone else might be going through. She gave me my love of nature, the ocean, adventure and travel. Most importantly, for her, she taught me how to be a gentleman. She was diagnosed with cancer 4 times and beat it 3 times like the Warrior she was.
