Thank you! I have always enjoyed long exposure "Stuff" but never really ventured into it with portraiture. I was surprised how well the mirrorless bodies I own (Z6 and Z5) handled the "zero light" focusing - while we were using a video light, I "hacked" the focusing for some shots by flashing the torch at the subject, using auto focus, then swapping back to manual before exposing.
Could have taken my Ad200s and some gels out for lighting, but figured static light would help us more in the absolute blackness of night!

All these experiments are going to lead to a new discovery. Once you like the outcome, you're going to go further and explore other possibilities. We have a few photographers in this community, who are experimenting with lights and long exposure and I love the outcome, so keep doing what you do :)
Yes, there's also the light painters community which has incredible work!
