"Table of Pure Light" photographic "effects" without a computer nor a darkroom!
This description "paint with light", as used by photographers, generally to describe the process of leaving the camera on a tripod located on a long exposure time, with a very small opening, while the photographer moves around the stage illuminating the darker parts of the picture with a flash or other light sources. In this way, the image is gradually created a series of short bursts of light on the selected areas.
Another method of "painting with light" is also charged in a dark room or outside at night, but this time using a hand torch while the shutter remains open, the torch is moved about to create an image (just as the effect of rays of light made by the headlights of cars on a busy road night) it can also be used to turn just very selective small parts of the scene. This form of painting with light is possible with any type of light source, like matches, candles, mobile phones, sparklers, laser light, or glow sticks, almost any light source can be used!
A third method is obtained by moving the camera rather while keeping the shutter open, that way we can add a sense of movement on stage. Or if the subject is in motion, using a long exposure, a picture with motion blur is achieved, it has also been raised by the photographers, that painting with light.
These are most famous "painting with light techniques. But there is another very interesting photographic technique to create special effects that also really justify that description too!
This technique is based on the use of projected images that are not always projected on a screen, sometimes more than one projector is used and the projected images are photographed. For example, a projected picture may be increased to a shell, and this scene can be photographed. In this way, the screen (in this case the shell) become part of the new image. Carefully masking more an image can be mixed, where more than one projector is used. So with two or more projectors, it is possible to mix parts of different images, but it is also possible to easily combine images in black and white colors and even negative images with transparencies.
These techniques have been discovered in the mid-1960s, long before computers were available for photographers, it all started when the photographer noticed how a picture looked that he had planned (before the presentation to the screen) so that image appeared in part on the wallpaper and curtains. He then started to move the projector and focus around the picture on different points in the room and quickly decided it would be interesting to photographing some of the effects he could see. Thus began a fascinating way to create stunning photographs.
This photographer has won the Trophy Room in London in 1967 to a transparency of a profile portrait of a young daughter, mixed with a negative of a tulip, all done with transparency. This image and many other award winning images created this way can be viewed on its web pages where these "techniques of painting with light" are explained in more detail, with images in a Another article entitled "The Magic Lantern."
