Painting with Light

Painting with light was such a fun assignment! I thought it was going to be impossible, but it was actually quite easy. In this photograph, I got Stephanie to pose as if she were holding someone's hand. With the light from my Ipod, I traced someone else holding hers. I was having a bit of difficulty lighting Stephanie up enough as the picture was taken in the darkroom. So, using her Ipod, we taped it to the wall in front of her in order to create enough light to see her as well. This effect created a better outcome, as Steph is lit up the same colour as the person I traced with the light. In this painting, I was trying to create an innocence to Stephanie. I tried out many different pictures, but this was definitely my favourite!
