Fiber Optic Light Painting Portraits
Session with Loki
Last week I had the pleasure to do some Black Fiber Optic Light Painting Portraits again. This time Loki joined me for an experimental session with the Fiber Brush. As normal we started with some lighting tests.
Letzte Woche hatte ich wieder das Vergnügen, ein paar Black Fiber Optic Light Painting Porträts zu machen. Diesmal kam Loki zu einer experimentellen Session mit dem Faserpinsel in mein Studio. Wie immer fangen mit Basis Licht an.
Sit there and just hold the light for minute
She just jumped into some colorful dress while i was setting up my gear. Then I said just sit over there and grab the light. i will add some more effects and light to see what works in our set up. Let us see what develops.
Sie schlüpfte in ein farbenfrohe Klamotten, während ich mein Equipment aufbaute. Dann sagte ich: „Setz dich einfach da hin und schnapp dir das Licht. Ich füge noch etwas hinzu und wir schauen erstmal, was da raus kommt.
Her Attitude
From the start pretty much all attempts ended up in cool images. Loki standing against the wall allowed her to stand still for a looong while and i can keep the lens open for loooong. These shots are all single exposures, with some exposure times like 170 seconds. I was always staying around F16-20 and the camera set to ISO 400ish.
Alle Versuche führten irgendwie zu richtig coolen Bildern. Loki lehnte sich an die Wand, so konnte Sie richtig lange still zu stehen und ich lange belichten. Alle Aufnahmen sind Einzelbelichtungen – mit Belichtungszeiten von teils 170 Sekunden. Ich blieb meist bei Blende F16 bis F20, und die Kamera war auf etwa ISO 400 eingestellt.
Testing all the leftover color gels.
Yellowish Green to Orange
The more colors you get the more it becomes a matter of taste. I usually go through a few more colors and sets than I usually estimate what I going to like. When I am back on my computer I can usually better judge with a fresh eye what works and what's over the top. So many times I was surprised going through the night one more time by looking at all the shots.
Anyhow the beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I am not going to dictate what you like. But please tell me which once you like.
Je mehr Farben dazukommen, desto mehr wird es eine Frage des Geschmacks. Ich gehe meist durch deutlich mehr Farbkombinationen und Setups, als ich vorher einschätzen kann, was mir später gefallen wird. Am Computer kann ich dann mit frischem Blick besser beurteilen, was wirklich funktioniert.
Aber wie man so schön sagt – Schönheit liegt im Auge des Betrachters, und ich will dir nicht vorschreiben, was dir gefallen soll.
Sag mir aber gern, welche Bilder dir am besten gefallen!
Bonus Shot
I was already packing when Loki gout out a scarf and said its going to be hard to make use of this piece. No > let me show you ..... 5min Later we had those two wonderful Light Paintings on our Memory Card.
Fell in love with these tow shots immediately.
Ich war schon beim Zusammenpacken, als Loki einen Schal herauszog und meinte: „Damit wird’s wohl schwer, etwas anzufangen.“ „Nein – lass mich dir was zeigen …“
Fünf Minuten später hatten wir diese zwei wunderbaren Light-Paintings auf der Speicherkarte.

!DIY
Thank you so much.
Holy crap, how have I not seen your work before?!
Is this just a fibre optic curtain that you're using, or it something more bespoke and custom?
How do you deal with light spill onto the backdrop / environment (heaps of black flags, I guess)?!
Sorry for all the technical questions, but I want to seriously make an attempt at something like this in my garage at some point.
So ephemeral and ethereal!
