Amazing Light paintings by Trevor Williams

Amazing Light paintings by Trevor Williams

A Canadian, who has been lost in Japan for the last eight years, Trevor has busy days, which leave him time only for shooting at night. His night shots have led to him being featured in the light-painting documentary Luminary and on Japanese television. He exhibits his works at various galleries in Japan. 

Light painting is an art technique that combines conceptual thinking and long exposure photography, usually at night or in a darkened room. It is created by moving a hand-held light source or by moving the camera. More often than not the person carrying the light source will not appear in the final photograph. It can quickly become crude or banal, but in the hands of an expert, real art can be generated. An excellent example is the work of Trevor Williams, especially where he combines his ultra-modern, almost sci-fi geometric light scapes with classic oriental buildings.
