Light Painting Portrait Tutorial

In this Light Painting Tutorial Jason D. Page explains how to keep your model in focus and evenly illuminated when creating a Light Painting Portrait using the portrait light attachment from Light Painting Brushes.

A camera is an instrument for recording light, especially when shooting long exposure photography and Light Painting. One of the most common mistakes when creating a light painting portrait is illuminating your subject more than one time. On the second or third pass of light this is when your subject or model will become blurry because they are being recorded by the camera multiple times. Unless you are shooting a statue there will be some sort of movement from your model so if you want them to be in focus it is important to only illuminate them with one single pass of the light.
