after looking at the adverts and the contemporary style of using lights and reduced shutter speeds i decided to have a go at creating some images like this myself. i used a variety of lights, such as torches, mobile phones and sparklers and lighters to see the different qualities the different light brought to the images.
above are the ones i took outside with a torch. i varied the mark making and the speed in wich i moved the light to experiment with different effects. i think thees are quite successful however it was hard to find a dark space without street lights.
i then tried doing this inside with the torch which was as bad as the torch lit up the Small confined space. in conclusion i like the ghostly effect the torch gives but i am not sure if editing out the illuminated background in all thees photos may mean the marks loose their nice qualities.
i then tried out using my phone light to create the same effects.
instead of creating a definite beam of light phone camera created more of an illuminated glow to the objects and images.
and here are my experimanets with sparklers and lighters.
i like the organic qualities in thees photographs and the sparklers give the images and electric energy.
i am quite pleased with the results of thees experiments and think that i could use the images now to make some designs for my website.
