LIGHT PAINTING

I originally started making basic shapes with a simple flashlight. I enjoyed experimenting and seeing what different shapes could be created....

As time went on my images were getting better and i then introduced colour by covering the flashlight in coloured sweet wrappers.

Here are some of my coloured images....

The different lines of colour in these pictures create motion and speed. I think this is very interesting so i developed into this and I started looking at these lines of colour which led me to working with lights and the speed of light creating a similar effect as in these pictures below. I tried to remake my orignal images using lights....

I made these images by 'painting' with lights in a dark room and taking a picture. O personally prefer the picture with colour as i think it is more exiting and really captures the effect of somebody running at speed.

I started off looking at human motion in the beginning and the different movements of the body during different activities. I then started looking at human motion in relation to speed and rapid movement and I became extremely interested in the blur effect of colour this speed created when i took pictures of people running. Here are some examples of the pictures i had taken....
