Lea encounters the quarry world (Lightpainting)

Hi everyone,

If you follow my feed since january, you've seen this talented young lady before in the Romantic Temple adventures : Ep. 1 & Ep. 2
Last week, I met Lea for our third lightpainting session together.

Lea is a professionnal ballet dancer, with a lot of experience and a strong reputation in Europe and in the U.S.

We started to shoot together during summer 2018, first in infrared caption. The more we collaborate, the more she wants to use lightpainting, to learn how to do it, to explore new fields. As she asked me to leave the danse approach, we'll do experimental stuff together now.

Last week's session was a kind of LP class as I tried to teach Lea the basics of the artform. As she was a very nice student, I decided to do her a cool portrait at the end of the session.

Lightpainting created in real time, captured to the camera in one single photographic frame.
No layers /no Photoshop / no editing except minor adjustments (lens correction profite, WB, contrast (+12)) and addition of my logo.

Take a look at my fellow lightpainters' work @fadetoblack, @mafufuma, @oddballgraphics, @fastchrisuk, @martbarras, @stepko, @maximepateau, @yo-hoho, @leetodd & @xperimentalphoto : these guys will show you different approaches of lightpainting and how versatile and powerful is that Artform.
