The work I carry out involves using torches; I use many kinds: standard household torches, penlights, LED torches, LED strips, florescent bulbs, flashing lights, flash-lights…anything from very dim, to ultra bright… anything goes, depending on what I set out to achieve.
I set one golden rule; absolutely NO photo editing… everything I do is captured in one exposure. On rare occasions I will crop an image, or use slight colour correction, but these are few and far between, which means composition, correct colour and light, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, the complete works all take place in-camera. By doing all this, my work becomes 100% authentic… in other words, what you see is what you get. I do not use wires or rigs of any kind... everything I create is done freestyle... I find the process organic, mesmerising, magical...
I have worked with global leaders in charity, communications, and am about to embark on a journey into the music industry. I continue to share knowledge by writing editorials in major photography magazines and will soon be working on a series of animated pieces. The locations I visit pretty much cover the entire UK and mainland Europe.
For my part, my discovery into light painting (or light sculpting, light graffiti) started off early this decade, 2003-2004. While indulging in photography in Greece, I hand-held my camera and used the light of the moon to trace out a pattern of words, then transferred the technique to torchlight. The art itself has roots as way back as the beginnings of photography itself. Later, probably the first person to consciously ‘draw’ with light is Pablo Picasso, captured by Gjon Mili back in 1949.
Finally, from dusk till dawn, I give eternal thanks to the friends, family, students and the people who I have collaborated with and who continue to support my work, my passion. Thank you :)
