Thank you ... it's really simple, actually.

All I did was shoot a 30 second exposure will all the lights out ... then I use the strobes to make the initial main exposure, and then in total darkness, either I or the model uses a flashlight to write text or patterns in mid-air. I just have to make sure that the light from the flashlight to the camera is at the same exposure as the strobe. Tricky to work out, especially when you I have to do a lot more people at different times, but it gets easier in the end. And focusing is hard too, because you have to do it before you turn the lights out, but the models don't also stay still. Kinda like shooting on 4x5.

Anyway, hope I didn't ramble on too much ... thanks for commenting.

It's just one form of light painting ... it's basically done in the pitch dark, with a flashlight, and then I used studio lights to photograph the subject.

Thanks for commenting ... I'm not gonna post anymore on here, but there are some more shots on my website.
