Recently Photographer Erik Christian shared these really cool Light Painting Portraits that he created for the Varsity 845 All-Star Basketball teams. To create these images Erik used a mix of constant light covered with colored gels matching the team’s colors and the pop of a couple of off camera strobes to freeze the motion of the athletes. Check out the images and the behind the scenes video below showing just how these perfectly executed Light Painting Portraits were created.

Eric Paré has just released another awesome light painting video project called KHAOS LP. This short video was all lit by hand in one night using a single flashlight and a 4×6 plexi blade. Prepare your eyes for 30 seconds of Light Painting KHAOS… For the full story check out Eric’s Site HERE

Eric says” We’re proud to release today KHAOS LP (the light-painting mashup of the short film KHAOS) as well as the first online version of of the original short movie itself, after a succesful presentation at Les Rendez-vous du Cinéma Québécois. The light-painting part has been all shot in one crazy night at my studio with 32 cameras and an acrylic plate. Everything is lit by hand in one second. The stop-motion is created one frame at a time by carefully changing pose by about one inch between each shot. I managed to completley disapear by wearing my black ninja costume.”

The 360 degree stop-motion technique I’m doing is fully explained in my short documentary LightSpin.

Synopsis
The paths of Nicholas, Judith and Clara cross accidentally inside a hotel room. A no man’s land which is the gateway to another dimension. The darker side of the psyche, this dimension is where subconscious nightmares and fantasies become real.

Getting ready for a night of Light Painting takes a little bit of work and it takes some preparation. We have all been there, getting ready for a night out and now we need to decided what tools to bring. The fact is, the easier our Light Painting tools are to use the more likely we are to use them. Take the PixelStick, arguably the most technically advanced light painting device created to date, however this tool takes a tiny bit of work to set up. I know there are a few of you PixelStick owners that have left this light painting tool behind because you didn’t want to have to tighten down those screws and put that “thing” together. Well fear the screw twisting and plugging cables no more because John Griffin, creator of the SpiroJib, has shared a clever “Hack” to make a PixelStick ready to use right out of the bag. Check it out below…

Here are a few shots Johnny created recently while sharing the Light Painting Art Form with his local School.

Light Painting Photographer Eric Paré has been absolutely killing it recently, putting out wildly gorgeous images and collaborating with industry giants like Adobe. This week Eric has taken over Adobe’s Instagram page, (yes I know there will be some tears shed but some of Eric’s work is edited, ?) He has also released a BTS video showing his LIVE unedited Light Painting work in the 360 Bullet Time Light Painting Photo Booth that he set up at Adobe MAX last year! With over 1000 participants over the 3 day event Eric shot nearly 4000 sets of images on a 32 camera array exposing many new people to the Light Painting Art Form! Check out the super cool 360º gifs and full video below… Congrats on all your success Eric!

Project created for Adobe in Los Angeles, California during AdobeMAX 2015.

For this event, 32 cameras were used in perfect sync. Each picture is lit by hand in about one second. We met nearly 1000 participants and created over 4000 pictures over the three days of the event, meaning over 128000 images.

Created with the help of Russell Preston Brown, Kim Henry, Jeremy Lloubes, Tony Stranges, Ed McDonough, Johan Silva, Guillermo Castellanos, Matthias Thomas Lamotte and Ange Amargier.
