Explor'Art - Lightpainting on Hive

Hello!

A brand new artistic collective has just formed this year in the south of Nantes, in the vineyard area.

As I was an active member of the Pep's Art collective during the past three years, I know a couple of artists of the zone : painters, sculptors, graffiti artists, drawers, photographers, upcyclers... Due to personal issues with the leading voices, I left Pep's Art and I created a brand new entity with my new colleagues.

The city of Château-Thébaud gently allowed us to use the city facilities. It was really cool to organize it despite the large amount of time spent to convice everyone.

I made a free lightpainting workshop/photocall as I think it's really important to show how we do what we do, and to stimulate and encourage people to do art too, whatever the form.

Here's a couple of portraits of visitors I did. I made a 8-hour animation with time for people to try lightpainting and moments when I took lamps to do portraits :

WHAT IS LIGHTPAINTING?

Lightpainting is a photographic technique in which exposures are made by moving a hand-held light source while taking a long exposure photograph, either to illuminate a subject or to shine a point of light directly at the camera, or by moving the camera itself during exposure. Nothing is added or removed in post processing.
