I was intrigued,
how were these trails of light produced?
they are not added after the picture was taken,
they appear like magic,
this one taken at Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s Floating Piers this summer in Italy and in it the clue, it is of course a timed exposure, which is why some of the people in background are blurred as they move,
and this is how the pictures were made, Stephen Orlando captures traces of movement through time, securing
LED lights to rowing paddles on a kayak, he comments, 'I’m fascinated with capturing motion through time and space
into a single photograph. Using LED lights with custom colour patterns and long
exposure photography, I’m able to tell the story of movement. This technique
reveals beautiful light trails created by paths of familiar objects. These
light trails have not been artificially created with Photoshop and represent
the actual paths of the objects, My photos focus on motions in nature and in urban
landscapes, as well as human movement. I am inspired by the works and
pioneering techniques of Étienne-Jules Marey, Anton Giulio Bragaglia, Gjon
Mili, and Frank Gilbreth. The large outdoor installations of Christo and
Jeanne-Claude also inspire me',
he has also made similar photographs using a paddle-board with a longer paddle, also violin and cello bows and sports equipment, his gallery is impressive indeed, You can also see more of
Orlando’s time-based light experiments and follow him on his Instagram and Facebook pages, and no I am not on commission, I was just fascinated when I saw the photographs and trying to understand how they were produced.
