I was honored to shoot with photographer David Smith using a technique called "light painting" --which is both as simple and difficult as you'd imagine.
I showed up and the first thing David said was "Bad news. There's a black out." Now, I don't typically make dumbs moves, but after assessing the actual situation, everything was working in my favor. David employs light photography which requires a pitch black room. The camera is set up on a tripod and adjusted so that it has a long exposure --meaning, everything that happens while the lens is open, is captured. Before each shot, we'd have to decide what the post would be. If you're a yoga, guru, this is fantastic. But, with this being my second shot, we worked with what I can do (lol). The model poses and David clicks his camera. With different colored flashlights/laser-pointers, he draws. Whatever the light illuminates shows on the camera. It's kind of like a still film.
