French designer, Aissa Logerot, developed ‘halo’ an LED light spray. Instead of spraying paint, it has an LED that sprays light. The LED’s brightness can be altered, and the colors are interchangeable.  Users simply have to shake it to recharge its power.

Light paintings, also known as light drawing or light graffiti, is a photography technique in which exposures are usually made at night or in a darkened room. The images here are from Jan Wöllert and Jörg Miedza, the guys behind LAPP-PRO. The light art performance photography (LAPP) is a one-shot, long exposure photography, performed additionally with movement of light. LAPP originates on a real-time basis directly in front of the camera, created between opening and closing the shutter.

Lightning Electric

Posted in Work Of Light by studiomakelight on January 27, 2010

Hiroshi Sugimoto has always used his camera to explore unseen phenomena — artifacts of time, light, the elements, and human perception. For his latest project, Lightning Field , he traded optics for electricity. He wields a Van de Graaff generator to send up to 400,000 volts through film to a metal table.

“I see the spark of life itself, the lightning that struck the primordial ooze,” Sugimoto says. Although some of the effects happen by chance, the artist does try to exercise control. “I have a kitchen’s worth of utensils that produce sparks with different characteristics,” he says. “But there are many variables — weather, humidity, perhaps even what I had for breakfast — I’m never sure what influences the results.”
