A good headshot is all about showing someone the way they want to be seen; for who they really are.
Portraiture + Light Painting
A photographic experiment that combines portraiture and Light Painting. Rich contrast and electric, candy colors highlight these urban portraits.
Off-camera flashes were used to ‘lock’ in the Model's poses. Then, light streaks were ‘painted’ in with colorful LEDs during the rest of the long exposure. This allowed me to feature background textures while light painting, which is traditionally done on black backgrounds.
All light streaks were captured in-camera.
