1. Light Painting Typography Workshop

    Have you ever worked with long exposures on your camera? Long exposure photos allow you to get really creative if you have the right ideas. One of the coolest ideas is to make light graffiti. Steven Smith lead the light type workshop where we used different sources of light, a dark room and our camera set to a long exposure ranging from 5sec-30sec. The results are stellar!

    We played with different options and created a whole alphabet. I also made a type specimen sheet from everyone’s letters. Here are a few of the pics from the light workshop.
