"Daenerys Targaryen - Queen of Meereen & Mother of Dragons"

Hello Hive people,

Today's lightpainting post is about a cool collaboration I made in 2017 with a cosplay fanatic.

As we had no available car, we weren't able to move to the woods as planned. We had to manage to find a proper location in a town center, a really tricky exercise.

Back in the days, I was doing my first tries at combining camera rotation stuff and portraiture. Of course results are full of imperfections, but I think it could be useful for many to see how I started doing that kind of shots.

Lightpainting created in real time, captured to the camera in one single photographic frame.
No layers /no Photoshop / no editing exept minor adjustments (lens correction profite, WB, contrast (+12)) and addition of my logo.

Take a look at my fellow lightpainters' work @fadetoblack, @mafufuma, @oddballgraphics, @fastchrisuk, @martbarras, @stepko, @maximepateau, @yo-hoho, @leetodd & @xperimentalphoto : these guys will show you different approaches of lightpainting and how versatile and powerful is that Artform.
