My favorite medium in photography is long-exposure, specifically "painting with light" or "light painting". It's vibrant, it gives me the ability to create something where there is nothing, it can be abstract or even something a bit more finite, and light painting can enhance what is already there.
I've also enjoyed making Scannograms, which just involves moving or placing things on top of a scanner, hitting scan, and manipulating the scan while the scanner works (so moving the objects, or adding additional elements while the scanner scans them). I'm including Scannograms in this section because I feel it is a form of long-exposure photography, since it takes a scanner seconds to finish scanning, and not something like 1/400 of a second.
Here's some of that down below.
Created by waving and moving a mirror above a flat bed scanner, with the lid off in a verydark room. The result was an exemplar of color range and of the abstract.
The effect that was created through this process, reminded me of waveforms that are used to visualize sound waves, hence the name of the piece - "Waveform".
Concept piece, created with an SLR camera, a long-exposure setting, a cloak, and the artistic flailing of Christmas lights and other LEDs.
Incorporating my painted light technique with old childhood action figures I still have lying around.
Seeing what would happen if I crossed light painting with a lensball.
Other examples of work I've done, doing the long-exposure photography technique "painting with light"
