This evening was a hastily arranged mission with Tom Hill at a secret location while Tom was "down south" in my area. We wandered around the buildings on site and Tom wanted to show the sense of scale of this particular derelict factory. Once he bagged his shot, I set up my custome made camera rotation device and used the same lighting set up to bag this:
To achieve the above shot, first you have to line up your subject and make sure there is plenty of dark unexposed space. This shot demonstrates the dark, unexposed stuff:
Once you have a test shot correctly exposed with enough dark area, it's simply a case of rotating the camera to precise angles and firing the flashgun located approx 100mtrs behind the subject. I'm amazed my Godox trigger was able to trigger that far away.
The first shot above, the angles were set to minus 45 degrees then 90 degree rotation, whereas in the shot below, the increments are set to the 90's:
I'm curious to know which one you prefer? Rotations on the 45's or the 90's?
All of the above images were shot in one photographic exposure and are not Photoshop creations.
About me:
I usually specialise in shooting lightpainting images but occasionally dabble in urbex and artistic model photography. I'm always on the lookout for someone to collaborate with; please don't hesitate to get in touch if you'd like to create art.

Proper top set fella. Love it.
Thanks pal, just typical, went out with a plan and changed my mind when I realised this might look tasty with a crt...
as always superb.
Thanks mate, it was a long walk to the Godox and back to set it up, I've done my step count for today lol
worth it though. You got some great shots there. My Garmin dive watch also does a step count. Amazing how many kilometers i can walk a day just in the dive shop. Usually chasing up shit some lazy fucker aint done
