114 — 360 degree light painting — Interview with Patrick Rochon

Marko Kulik — Mon, 21 Jan 2013 16:36:11 +0000

Photography podcast #114 features an interview with light painter Patrick Rochon who discusses his new experimental 360 degree light painting technique. In a nutshell, Patrick light paints a model who stands in the middle of a ring as 24 DSLR cameras around the ring expose the scene at the same time. The frames are then strung together with software to give the illusion of circular movement. Patrick and I talk about his new work, his older work, and we talk about Patrick’s light painting process as well.

While I was at Patrick’s place recording this interview, I noticed a gallery of new light painted (non 360) photographs on his wall that were gorgeous. This image below was one that I really liked — Thx for sending it Patrick!

82 — Light-painting portraits — Interview with Patrick Rochon

Marko Kulik — Thu, 20 May 2010 21:20:53 +0000

Photography podcast #82 discusses painting with light AKA light painting with master light painterPatrick Rochon. In a nutshell, light painting is (usually) the art of using portable lights like flashlights to ‘paint’ a subject in a dark environment while the shutter stays open on a tripod during a long exposure. In this podcast Patrick describes and shares some of the tips and tricks he uses to create his amazing light painted portraits. The majority of Patrick’s body of work, like the image below is non-digital, was shot on film, and has not been Photoshopped.

Painting with light

LIGHT PAINTING
Light painting has actually nothing to do with ‘painting’ per say, but rather is an artistic form of photography. To go about it, choose a subject to shoot, turn off the lights, and while holding your light source, move it around. Playing around with‚your shutter speed will affect the outcome of the shot; a good shutter speed for this type of artistic imagery is 20–30 seconds.

This is a fun way to experiment with your camera and lighting, and can produce some fabulous results. Best thing? You don’t need to have much‚patience for it! 20–30 minutes is all you need and you’ll get a nice handful of shots.‚Nice idea when doing this type of exercise is to wear black clothing… otherwise you may become the focal point of your shoot!

The results are fun and interesting and we hope you’ll comment. Below are some of the images talked about in the show. Click the photographs to enlarge them.
