Light Painting Portrait test run with Natalia

Amazed by Natalia T.

If you like to master a skill you need practice. Not all of your attempts will end in epic art. Light Painting Portraits are my favorites. Here I share with you another set of Light Painting Experiments from our Light Painting sessions with Natalia. Sometimes you see some great results just playing around with some accessories.

Sometimes its the simplest things. Just a quick scan - and done.

Wenn Ihr eine Fertigkeit wirklich beherrschen wollt, braucht Ihr halt auch ne Menge Übung. Nicht alle Versuche werden in epischer Kunst münden aber man kannst ja mal versuchen. Hier gibt's nun noch weitere Light Painting-Experimente von der letzten Session mit Natalia. Manchmal muss man einfach mal rumexperimentieren.

Manchmal sind es die einfachen Dinge.

The Fiber Brush is of course my go-to tool and I can't do without it 😎

That's not a guarantee for the best results but hey, every time I get to experiment more freely without any pressure you may be in for a surprise.

Die Fiber Brush ist natürlich mein Go-to-Licht-Tool also probiere ich immer mal damit zuerst 😎 Das ist natürlich keine Garantie für epochale Ergebnisse, aber hey, jedes Mal, wenn ich ohne Druck frei experimentieren kann, gibt's auch min. eine Überraschung.

And of course, I always try some Black Fiber Optic brush adding some extra effects as here with that gaze on her left side of the face and the silk around her neck.

Natürlich probiere ich immer wieder die Black Fiber Optic Brush aus, dazu gibt's dann noch ein paar Effekte mit der Gaze und der Seide.

The first shot is not complicated it was a very quick 5.2 Second Long Exposure at F10 ISO 400. The second Light Painting is a 30 Second Longexpsoure at F20, ISO 100. The last test with all the different effects combined is then 48 seconds long.

You see that adding all these effects adds up in time.

Die erste Aufnahme ist nicht wirklich kompliziert, es war eine sehr schnelle 5,2-Sekunden-Langzeitbelichtung bei F10 ISO 400. Das zweite Light Painting ist eine 30-Sekunden-Langzeitbelichtung bei F20, ISO 100. Der letzte Test mit all den verschiedenen Effekten zusammen dauerte dann schon 48 Sekunden .

So summieren sich all diese Effekte einer nach dem anderen.

I hope you found these images inspirational. If you have more questions please do not hesitate. I am happy to share my knowledge.

If you think this is Spam, why did you read this far and why the fuck bother you? Move on from your self-righteous mind state and bury yourself. Don't bother about what others may find interesting. Just stay in your bubble and ...

All there is left to say is Cheer Up!

Great work Gunnar. More please. I need to get into LP portraits. These are so cool. 👍👍

I did schedule a few more light paintings this month 😎so let's see what comes of it

Yes, i agree with FadeToBlack.... More, please! hahahhaa

My supply was running a bit low lately because life was taking me to other places. Now I can get back on track and yes there will be some cool stuff to come this year. I'm optimistic about this year.

The one with the gaze on her left side is very cool 😎
Thanks for sharing @gunnarheilmann 👋🏻😊 have a great new week!

Glad you like it. I am still not 100% sure how the gaze is used best but I'll figure that out.

You are welcome 😊
You will figure it out when you play a bit more with it. Have fun 🤩 and have a great week 👋🏻

I really like that portrait. Awesome work!

Thanx a million. As it seems there is a request for more of those. I will make more room for that 😎

I do love your work with models. The second is my favourite due to the way you did the lightpainting, although I like all three. The mess adds a hidden element in the last one that appeals to me.

Looking forward to more, as always.

Interesting that you like the second. I was almost to kick it and not even post it. I need to widen my perspective on things. Glad I share it with you guys and got your feedback. Soooo much appreciated I can tell you!

Really?! That would have been a sad thing because it has a lot of expression and intensity, not just from the face, the entire image. It has that more "spark", which is why it popped out to me.

Sometimes it's hard to see clearly when close to something all the time. Sometimes it's a matter of one's own personal taste. I find others often like ones I feel are mediocre by my own standards.

You're most welcome, a pleasure!

Yeeees
That's why I keep forcing myself to step away and share with you what I have. This is the best example of what you describe. Kind of feels nice that others experience the same thing.

Yeah, stepping back is key. Sometimes I won't look at work for a while, then look months later to find I have a different response to it.

It's always nice to know one isn't alone with such experiences. 😊

Hello @gunnarheilmann very nice work.

The light art is cool.

I am still wondering how did you create such a complicated lighting like the second and third photo. 😅😅 but please post more of this kind of photography 😍😍

Thank you for your support. I do sometimes post some videos and then you see how it's done. It's not rocket science but yes my experience is almost 15 years, what seems easy to me is sometimes hard to grasp as easy as for me. Once seen in real life during a workshop or so it comes faster. But check out my Youtube channel there may be some hints. You'll find some videos that help a lot. If you want to try it.

In this article you also find a video showing it life.
