Seriously Awesome Light Painting Photography Collections

Sun, Jul 19, 2009

Light paintings, also known as light drawing or light graffiti, is a photography technique in which exposures are usually made at night or in a darkened room. This momentary approach to art and expression uses the movement of light to create incredible images and is created on the streets, in nature, and in studios by artists whose creative impulses transcend traditional media. Light graffiti is sometimes produced as performance art, and sometimes just to capture it with photography and video, but either way it makes for some incredible viewing. Although light is considered to be rather a practical than an artistic tool, it has some properties which designers can effectively explore in their works. In this post you will find a huge collection of very inspirational Light Paintings as images and videos and list of the most well known artists.

Caution! You may loose your sleep tonight because you can’t resist spending some hours trying to make your own amazing Light Paintings.
