South Banks Promo Shoot

It's been quite a busy weekend.  I was able to get to together with South Banks for our first official promo shoot together. It was the first time I had the chance to fully experiment with light painting techniques and I am elated to say that it was incredibly successful. This technique which involves painting in real time using nothing but a flash light allows me to be enormously creative. In fact the creativity was to contagious that the members of South Banks got involved and was painting and experimenting with me. Keep in mind that all effects in these photos were not created in photoshop but was actually done real time. So without further ado, I present to you South Banks!

Light is undoubtedly very important in photography and can make or break a photograph. However, most of us don't often think about light as a physical thing, its just..kinda there and it helps us see things. Here's a little science background info: visible light is emitted as tiny little particles called "photons". These photon particles bounce off stuff and into our eyes, giving us vision and colors. The same thing goes for photographs, light bounces off stuff and into the processor located in the back of the camera. So I thought, if light is a physical thing, why can't I manipulate light itself ?  Instead of manipulating the camera to accommodate the light, I used light as a sort of "paint" by painting over subjects in real time. This technique for me reconciled the art of painting and photography, two of my favorite things! Over the coming weeks, I will be experimenting with this technique and I'll be posting the results so stay tuned !
