“To remind you that you are a soul living a physical existence–

a spirit living a physical expression of your soul–

a multi-dimensional being of body, mind, spirit, heart, soul, intellect, and personality.” ~ Ellen E Brock


Ellen E Brock’s Painting with Light portraits and Triptychs Encompass the Multi-dimensionality of Your Life!  ___________________________________________________________________________________________________


A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO PHOTOGRAPHY!

 

 

YOUR PAINTING WITH LIGHT PORTRAITS WILL…


INSPIRE YOU TO THINK ABOUT & CONSIDER:

your spiritual essence 1st (and foremost)

your physical form 2nd (as a shell housing for your soul and spirit)!


REMIND YOU TO CONSIDER:

that what you focus upon expands, is strengthened, takes on physical form,

and that you are more than just your personality, career, and family roles!



PAINTING WITH LIGHT / LIGHT PAINTING – DEFINED:

A creative photographic technique involving:

~ a one-shot, long bulb exposure (a slow shutter speed of usually one second or more involving the use of a shutter release cable or self-timer)
~ a stationery camera (on a tripod, table, the ground, etc)
~ a moving handheld light (light sources: an LED flashlight; a ‘Hosemaster’ which uses fibre optic light; candles; sparklers; fireworks; glow sticks; etcetera!  Coloured gels may be used over the light source–as required to neutralize the light colour, or, conversely, as an additional colour effect.)



Ellen E Brock creates painting with light photographs & video
– simultaneously and/or intermittently –
in her painting with light photo-shoot experiences! 


It is a special portrait photo-shoot producing photographs that show the diverse parts
of your personality as well as the multi-dimensional sides of your life and career.



PAINTING WITH LIGHT IS THE ANTITHESIS OF TRADITIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY, REQUIRING:


~ night (if outdoors)

~ a dark room (if indoors)

~ one or more Assistants turning lights on and off for the Photographer!



HISTORICAL ORIGINS OF LIGHT PAINTING:
(Wikipedia)

{1} Light Painting photographers Man Ray (1935) and Barbara Morgan (1940) were the first known light painting photographers.

{2} Photographer and lighting innovator Gjon Mili introduced Pablo Picasso to his photographs of ice skaters with lights attached to their skates (1949).

{3} Artist Pablo Picasso immediately started making images in the air with a small flashlight in a dark room, creating the first combined effort of artist and photographer (1949). The series of photographs became known as Picasso’s light drawings.
Of these photographs, the most celebrated and famous is known as Picasso draws a centaur in the air.

{4} Cinematographer John Alton wrote a book, titled Painting with Light–on cinematography (1949).
The book’s primary focus is on light and the many complex ways a camera crew can manipulate it for effect.
Alton, who worked on films noir classics, explains how lighting, shooting locations, and various camera techniques can be used to create a visual mood in film. Much of the technical information is now obsolete. (ISBN 0-520-08949-9)

 


 YOUR PAINTING WITH LIGHT PHOTOGRAPHS WILL:


~ remind you that you are a soul living a physical existence

~ a spirit living a physical expression of your soul

~ and that all options of expressing your life essence are available for development during this life!

Ellen E Brock’s painting with light portraits are relevant today as an expression of our multi-dimensional personalities, lives, and existence!



NOTES:

1 – Painting with Light is a special photographic technique involving skill, patience, faith…and a little luck!

2 – A Vacation Photo-shoot Experience can be combined with a Painting with Light Photo-shoot Experience–using video from your Vacation Photo-shoot Experience as a background, or as an overlay over top of you! 

(Additional costs are required to combine two separate Soul Photographer™: Soul Moment™ Photographs, “Photographing the Soul“™ photo-shoot experiences.)

Ellen E Brock’s technique of projecting photographs or video on your face and/or body, or on a wall or backdrop, and then painting you with light is an amazing visual and sensory experience.

Photographs and/or video are additionally created of the resulting unique combination of images–creating one final photograph and/or video.

(Multiple costs are involved as this entails a complex set of circumstances in integrating photography and/or video with photography and/or video, while painting with light.)
