Words & Photos Simon Bond<br />
Through the process of<br />
light painting or light<br />
drawing, photographer<br />
Simon Bond does a<br />
dance of luminescence<br />
that magically wraps<br />
around cultural symbols.<br />
Light painting is a very modern<br />
looking technique, although it has<br />
actually been around since the early<br />
days of photography. In this series of<br />
photos, a piece of equipment called a<br />
pixelstick was used to create the lighting<br />
effects. Light painting involves using a<br />
light source to “paint” into a scene during<br />
a long exposure photo. All of the photos<br />
seen here are 5-30 second exposures. The<br />
pixelstick is a long metal pole containing<br />
200 LED lights that can be programmed to<br />
emit any light colour that you desire.<br />
White light swirls into a<br />
whimsical pattern and envelopes<br />
a dancer in an ethereal glow.<br />
The photographer intentionally<br />
choses a colour that adds a more<br />
profound depth to his subject.<br />
