After doing some research on Ian Egner, I became inspired to do light painting/tracing. Some of the photographs weren’t as good as I had originally hoped, but I still liked doing it nonetheless.
I asked my sister to hold up a multicoloured light in a completely dark room and slowly move it in random patterns.
We did try to write but it wasn’t as successful as our other shots. I had her repeat the same method to see how it looked before we mixed it up a bit.
After searching the house for a while we found a light up wand and decided it was better than nothing. Originally, I wanted to use the flashlight on her phone but it was too bright.
I really enjoyed doing light tracing, it was so much fun to try and get different patterns. Once I took the photos I edited them by changing the colours of the lights to see which theme I preferred.
After a while, I tried incorporating her face into the image to see how that looked and I actually thought this was a lot more interesting than some of the other images.
It could have gone better but it is still a result that I am happy with.
We then found some fairy lights and began to experiment with different movements; slowly and then moving it a little quicker, I made her draw with them and also just twirl them at various speeds.
