Artist Research

My interpretation.

From doing some research into artists work, I was considering how I could create some light painting photography photographs of my own when it came to creating them and also how they could be similar to the artist work I looked at, or if this doesn’t go to plan I would then consider creating completely different light painting photographs or new ideas. The one thing I especially like about light photography is that you can be creative and imaginative as you like, which is great for some photography artists who want to produce many different and original type of styles. With light painting photography you can draw things, write many different things and much more. I took several photographs with light painting photography so I’ve decided to choose 3 of them to include in my light painting photography project, but when I get to the part of talking about my techniques I will clarify in more detail how I created my work and what techniques I used. 

Light Photography Artist- Research.

Light photography or known as light painting is a technique that is used in photography to create all sorts of photographs. The thing that people like about light painting photography is that light travels at such a high speed, but when you use a slow shutter speed, it allows photographers to capture the light in amazing and creative ways, allowing photographers to create absolute anything they want. So for light painting photography to inspire me even more I done some research into a photographer who creates light painting photography, I also included images of their work that I had found on their websites to use as examples of light painting photography. Below you can see my artist research and examples of the light painting photography photographs they have created. 



Jason D. Page was born in Newport News, Virginia. Ever since he was a young child he was interested in art, from painting pictures to creating sculptures. This helped him earn several amounts of awards throughout his school life. Soon after leaving high school Jason found a new love for cinematography and photography so he carried on studying related subjects such as film studies. Once graduating at college he went on to work at a local college near his home, after working there for a few years he created 4 feature length action sports movies which were award winning in 2007. This is a quote from Jason D. Page- found on his photography website: http://www.jasondpage.com/about-light-painting/  

After Jason D. page worked for several companies that involve media subjects he found himself going back to Florida but with his wife Courtney, in Florida he worked with Palm Beach International Film Festival, MTV Television Company, Parallax productions, JRO Productions, Fuel TV, Progression video magazine, The Discovery Channel and many more.  Jason D. Page has been a professional photographer for sixteen years discovering light painting in 2004. It wasn’t until Jason used light from the moon to create designs in the sky that he discovered light painting. His first light painting is called “Moonlight Drawings” many things have gone wrong since he has discovered light painting as he has received many parking tickets, trespass warnings and has been chased out of woods by what’s known as a Bigfoot all because of him creating light painting, however he has gained lots of positive things to this as well as negative.  When shooting at night Jason prefers to be able to create pictures alone deep into woods, because the fear he occasionally feels lets his imagination run wild under certain conditions. This allows his to create his best piece of work. Jason has made expose and explore lighting painting his aim in life, to its fullest prospective.
