I was simply trying to create art using a 12″ long kitchen whisk in which the steel was coated with red rubber. To me this has kind of an outer space look but the beauty of abstract art is that it takes on whatever meaning you interpret it as.
I set up the shot in my studio in a pitch dark room using a black background. The whisk was illuminated with an on camera flash then the red swirls were light painted by hand with a small torch and a red slip on filter over the end.
Jason D. Page is, sort of, the Godfather of Light Painting. His work in and out of the studio is unparalleled. If you’re interested in the many forms that light painting can take and how to do it then it’s worth visiting his website at: https://lightpaintingphotography.com/about-the-founder/. Jason also sell’s numerous light painting products on his website. He also has countless tutorials on his site and youtube. Now HE’s a true artist!
