light painting and creative night photography in Sudbury

Photographs made with light

This is the part of my work that does not look like anyone else in Sudbury. After dark, or in a dim alley, I hold the shutter open and move light through the frame: coloured gels on a face, a line of light drawn in the air, a long exposure that turns a moving person into a streak with a clear still face inside it.

It takes setup and patience, so we scope it together before we book. You tell me what it is for, a portrait, a band, a product, an idea, and I tell you what the light can do.

Portraits, products and ideas

Most sessions are portraits in colour: a night alley, a mural, a wall that deserves to glow. I also light products, drawn with light on a dark ground. If you have an odd idea, bring it.

Questions

Short answers

Before you ask.

It is a long exposure in the dark, during which I move a light through the frame so that the photograph shows lines and colours that your eye never saw.

Just an idea and clothes you like. I bring the light and set it up.
