Light Painting Workshop for Adults

Learn a long-exposure photography technique in a simple and experiential way. We will learn to make “light brushes” from flashlights and various materials, and create shapes, textures, and effects in front of the camera in a dark room. Along the way, we will become familiar with the principles of light photography and leave with unique and spectacular photographs we created ourselves, along with tools and ideas for continuing to create at home. For adults (18+).

You are invited to a Light Painting workshop for adults.

In the workshop, we will learn a long-exposure photography technique in a simple and experiential way, and experiment with creating images using diverse light sources while examining the results in real time on the screen. In addition, we will learn to make “light brushes” from flashlights and various materials—such as transparent tubes, recycled plastic, or laser-cut Plexiglas—and create shapes, textures, and effects in front of the camera in a dark room.

Beyond the creative experience, the workshop combines knowledge and practical tools: we will learn what long exposure is and how controlling the shooting time changes the result; understand how the camera sensor “stores” light over time; and experiment with mixing light colors according to the additive model. We will also touch on the historical development of light drawing, from a research tool to an artistic medium, and work on releasing inhibitions and opening up creative thinking. You will leave the workshop with a unique light photograph of your own and simple tools that will enable you to continue creating at home.

The workshop is intended for adults (18+).
