Hippocrates II
I thought I would post this variation of yesterday’s image, captured with light painting photography in the studio using an iPhone flashlight, together with a view of the set up. The additional light was added in Photoshop Elements using an airbrush and the text duplicated and then inverted to create the mirrored effect.
Life is Short; Art is Long
from The First Aphorism of Hippocrates
Light painting in the studio tonight.
“Nowadays I try to put serenity into my pictures and re-work them as long as I have not succeeded”
Henri Matisse, from and Interview with Charles Estienne in 1909
Well it is Monday after all, for those of you who enjoyed my Monday Bouquets last year. As many of you know Henri Matisse is an artist hero of mine and quotations from one of my favourite books, Matisse on Art, will make great additions to my Monday posts; from Monday Bouquets to Matisse Mondays, from time to time. What could be better? Now, back to work!
Studio Light Painting I
Night and Day: this first-time light painting photograph in the shadowy studio at night is so much more dramatic than its day-time counterpart. Progress is definitely being made in the light painting department I think. I hope you agree.
