PATRICK ROCHON
Patrick Rochon
After graduating college, that's when Rochon discovered light painting, he had heard about it and thought that he had to try this. He asked some of his friends to pose for him in complete darkness, set his camera to a slow shutter speed on his camera, and began to essentially 'light paint'.
In my opinion his work is very mesmerising and so creatively done that you can't help but wonder if stuff like that is possible. The concept of light painting is so simple but yet it gives these amazing outcomes. What I dislike about the light painting isn't necessarily the work it's more about the method, as in my personal experience trying to achieve a good light painting is really hard, but once you get a good photograph out of it, it feels very rewarding.

LIGHT EXPERIMENT: PORTRAITS (2)
Portraits-Edited
These were another set of photographs which I took using a digital SLR camera. I did nothing fancy except for play around with different lighting positions. After taking them, I edited them on a software called 'Camera Raw 6.7'. It is a program which allows you to edit the picture as if it were still in the camera. It is similar to Photoshop but different in the sense that in Photoshop you are slightly limited to how much editing can be done. I did slight changes to the images, for example making the more clearer, adding a bit more exposure(or taking away for those photographs which were a little darker), making the photograph brighter, things like that.
PHOTOSHOP LIGHT EXPERIMENT
Photoshop light experiment
This was my light experiment using Photoshop. I choose one of my best photographs which I took using a film SLR, scanned it in and then began editing it on Photoshop. I followed a tutorial and this was the result I got. I thought that it didn't come out too bad for it being done digitally. I like the contrast of the black and white photograph and then the bright blue of the 'light' I think that it works quite well.

LIGHT PAINTING: FIRST SHOOT
Light Painting
These were my first attempts at doing light painting. I achieved this by using a slow shutter speed on a digital SLR camera. The lighting effect was done using laser pens. I thought that they weren't too bad for a first time and weren't as successful as I wanted them to be as some of the photographs are not in focus and the lighting effect was done at random and has no real structure so at times that does make it hard to tell what the image is. However in some cases that can be what makes this technique very different and unique.

LIGHT EXPERIMENT-PORTRAITS
Light experiment portraits
These were my experimental light portraits, which I achieved using a digital film SLR. I thought that they came out really well, especially the ones with the white background. The contrast with the white background and the darkness of the subject worked really well in bringing the focus to the model. I found however that there were some marks on my photographs when I developed them. This was due to the negative strip being quite smudged and containing all these marks. In the future, I need to ensure that I properly wipe down the negatives and make sure that there isn't anything on it as this has a major affect on the successfulness of the final outcome. However, I do really like my photographs.
