To Lightpaint, or not to Lightpaint…

That is the question!

Lightpainting has been around in car photography in one shape or form for many years.
Back in the day, we lit with a 6ft Kino Flo – great effect, but another large piece of kit for the production team to load in & out of grip vans, airport check-ins etc…
Now we are using hand-held LEDs – lightweight and portable, fits in a small bag.
Here is a short film demonstrating the technique on a pal’s Speedster…enjoy

And the three ‘stages’ of lightpainting…any preferences out there?

Speedster Lightpainting – natural light

Speedster Lightpainting

Speedster Lightpainting – light trails

Compared to the Kino Flo effect below – one of the images shot for the Jaguar XF launch in & around Monaco – this one was shot outside the Monte Carlo Casino – one of the more expensive locations! Here is a link to a previous blog for more shots of the XF and a feature in Photography Masterclass Magazine
