Light Painting Photography has been around since 1914 when Frank Gilbreth first use the form to study the
motion of manufacturing and clerical workers. Light painting photography is also known as light painting,
light drawing, light writing, light graffiti, light art, light art performance photography, LAPP, camera
painting, and kinetic photography. All of these names are, in one form or another, long exposure
photography. In Light Painting Photography the artist is leaving the shutter of the camera open for an
extended period of time and using various lights to create color and design within the frame. Shutter speeds
for light paintings can vary anywhere from 5 seconds up to 5 hours or more. To be a true light painting
photograph the image must be created in one single frame without any post production manipulation
whatsoever, a.k.a. NO PHOTOSHOP. Proper light painting photographs are known as SOOC or straight out
of camera. This is a list of 18 of the worlds best light painting photographers.

Author : Jason D. Page
Light painting artist Jason D. Page has been a photographer for sixteen years. He has been light painting
since 2004. Jason first discovered light painting photography when he used light from the moon to create
designs in the sky. His first light painting series are known as “Moonlight Drawings”. He has received
parking tickets, trespass warnings, and been chased out of the woods by a possible Bigfoot all in the name
of light painting photography. Jason prefers to shoot alone at night deep into the woods, he says the fear that
he sometimes feels allows his imagination to run wild and under these circumstances Jason can create his
best work. Find out more about Jason at his website.
