DSC4079

This is one image in a series of studio setups I am shooting. Unlike my flower series of several years ago, which I lit with traditional lighting, I shot these with a technique called Light Painting. The master of this technique is Harold Ross. You might check him out. The technique involves hand-holding small diffused flashlights and "brush stroking” the light where you want it while the camera’s shutter is open for a long exposure. I then blend several frames together in PS using the best elements from each frame to reach the desired look. This series features hand tools. I had several hammers I had gathered over the years and started adding to the collection for this series, picking up some gears and vintage oilers for some variety.
