Research Log

Michael Bosanko - http://www.michaelbosanko.com

Michael Bosanko is a british photographer who discovered 'light graffiti' by accident but quickly adopted it and developed his own style of work.

Patrick Rochon - http://www.patrickrochon.com

Rochon is a photography who specialises in light drawing in a variety of ways for a lots of different things from advertisement to just doing it for fun.  He also does some with a ring of cameras around a model in the dark for some light drawings to create a 360 degree looped video of that piece which I think is pretty cool.


















Ryan Warnberg and Michelle McSwain - https://www.flickr.com/photos/m--r--i

These two are a pair of photographers who work together to create a collective of work and are aptly named 'Light Bomber' they create some diverse and unique pieces of work.












Lucy Shires - http://www.lucyshiresphotography.co.uk/gallery/texture/

Lucy Shires is a photographer who focuses a lot on the different normal and creative uses of light within photography.  I think that her texture section of work is pretty amazing and they all have a unique and interesting touch to them which I have never seen anywhere else, although her work covers several topics including; line, shape, colour and shadows.












Ian Brumpton - http://www.ianbrumpton.com

Ian Brumpton is a London based, newcastle-on-tyne, photographer who specialises in black and white street photograpy.  Although most of his work is in black and white it still covers quite a broad spectrum of theme/topics and could be interpreted in many ways.

Richard Vantielcke - http://www.ludimaginary.net

Vantieckle is a French photographer who is well known for his 'Urban Lifestyle' photographs.  Although his work spans a large section of topics/themes a lot of them focus heavily upon shadows and silhouettes.  I like his work as he has a knack for capturing things that are probably seen everyday but in a unique and artistic way.

Darren Pearson - http://www.dariustwin.com

Darren Pearson, also known as Darius Twin, is a photographer who has been light painting since 2008, his work is similar to that of Michael Bosanko although Person mainly works with a white torch using different coloured lights to colour the background or in these two cases the lights of a city rather than using different coloured lights to draw.














Jason Lau - http://www.jasonlauphotography.com

Jason Lau is a photographer who mainly shoots in black and white or with a muted colour scheme, I classified his work as creative use of light as i like the way in which he use the light to emphasise certain features or key aspects of his subjects be they human or otherwise.

















Juliet Ferguson is a British photographer who does work on a variety of topics, the one I like most is her section of work called shadow and light in which she focuses on shadows cast by natural light as opposed to artificial light.


















Rosie Hardy - http://www.rosiehardy.com/1144-home

Rosie Hardy is a Manchester based photographer who's work focuses mainly on colour, form and shadows.  Her work is known to have deeper or split meanings behind each photo.


















Jai Maisel - http://www.jaymaisel.com/recent-work/

Jai Maisel is an American photographer and graphic designer who is well known for his use of colour and light/shadows.  I like his work as his subject topic varies from people to architecture rather than just being one particular thing, and throughout all of his work his understanding of form and colour is obvious.












Antonin Fourneau - http://www.aec.at/aeblog/en/2014/08/28/water-light-graffiti-wasser-macht-licht/

Fourneau is most famous for his work involving light painting graffiti which involves a series of water activated LEDs arranged on a board which he then uses water to 'paint' onto to create his pieces of work.

Michael Taylor - http://www.michaeltaylorphoto.com/#/light_trace/light_trace

Michael Taylor is an Irish photographer who mainly uses EL (electro luminescent) wire or fairy lights which he wraps around his models or incorporates into their clothing to create light trails while taking long exposure photographs.







Eric Staller creates light drawing within his work, the two examples here are from his 'Studio Work' section despite them obviously being outdoors.  A trait of his work seems to be to use what is already there to create some of his fantastic pieces of work by simply adding light trail to the photo.












Hannu Huthamo - http://www.hannuhuhtamo.com

Huhtamo is a Finnish photographer who is most famous for her complex and large scale light sculptures which are usually very colourful and fairly abstract.












Trevor Williams - http://tdubphoto.com/portfolios/light-painting/

Trevor Williams light drawing photography is typically fairly colourful and a few are relatively complex.












Brian Hart - http://lightpaintingphotography.com/light-painting-artist/featured-artist-2/brian-hart/

Brian Hart is a photographer who has developed a style of line drawing through light drawing, which is instantly recognisable as his work as it is highly unique.  He uses several long exposure shot for each piece of his work some of which can take longer than 20 minute to complete.

Jeremy Jackson, also known as 'TACKYSHACK', is a light painting photographer with a highly unique and interesting style of work and uses 35mm film as well as digital cameras and produces bright, colourful and fun pieces that usually have quite a lot going on within the frame.

Kempton is essentially a light drawing photographer who focuses on using fireworks as his medium, and produces some very good pieces of work that fit the term 'creative use of light' for some obvious reasons.
