Light Painting During The Open Studios Event

Every second year, Steinhagen hosts the "Open Studios" event. Last weekend it happened again. In best weather 15 artist groups from Steinhagen opened their studios and showed their works. From our artist group "CreARTiv" 10 artists presented their works in the old fire brigade in Amshausen. As a small event, I organised a live light painting performance in a specially prepared room. Every visitor could have a portrait painted by me. This was fun, practice and a challenge at the same time, because in order not to keep the audience too much in suspense, a shot should not take longer than a minute, if possible only need one attempt and fit the model.

He is 77 years old and lives in my neighbourhood. I was delighted when I discovered him among the visitors. Of course I couldn't let him go without a portrait. With him, I wanted to depict the wisdom of age in a light painting.

To realise the idea, I used a torch, which I briefly flashed on the lens. I illuminated the model itself with a DIY scanner from the position of the torch. All the tools used here can be seen at the end of the post.

Unfortunately, the online shop of Lightpainting Paradise closed its doors this year.
With the DIY calligraphy tool I painted the green arc over the two. I set the kick light with a CONVOY S2+ with green LED. The models were again exposed with the DIY scanner.

As promised above, here is another picture with the tools that were used for the light painting images shown.
