Patrick Rochon The Light Painting KATA

July 19, 2013 by Jason D. Page

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.

JADIKAN Light Painting For SNAM 365

July 8, 2013 by Jason D. Page

Light Painting Photographer Jadikan-LP has been hard at work on some really cool light painting projects recently. First of all he redesigned his website and updated it with all new photos, videos, and an animated 3D light painting gif which you should check out HERE.

Another really cool light painting project that he recently completed was SNAM 365. SNAM is an Italian natural gas company and they were looking to create a calendar “to communicate their new visual identity”. Each of the light paintings that Jadikan created depicts a different aspect of SNAM’s business model (TALENT, PEOPLE, TEAM BUILDING, SYSTEM, INTERNATIONALITY, AND VISION). All of the images were then edited together by LSD Studios to create a awesome foldable 50×150 metalic printed calendar.

Jadikan says “It was a very good experience and collaboration, I’m really happy with the result (even it can not be considered as a “pure” lightpainting – see the SOOC/Photoshop debate…)
