82 — Light-painting portraits — Interview with Patrick Rochon

Pho­tog­ra­phy pod­cast #82 dis­cusses paint­ing with light AKA light paint­ing with mas­ter light painterPatrick Rochon. In a nut­shell, light paint­ing is (usu­ally) the art of using portable lights like flash­lights to ‘paint’ a sub­ject in a dark envi­ron­ment while the shut­ter stays open on a tri­pod dur­ing a long expo­sure. In this pod­cast Patrick describes and shares some of the tips and tricks he uses to cre­ate his amaz­ing light painted por­traits. The major­ity of Patrick’s body of work, like the image below is non-digital, was shot on film, and has not been Photoshopped.
