How do you light paint yourself?
Here’s what you’ll do:
- Prepare your light painting device. I used an LED Hybrid Flashlight. It’s pretty bright, so I wrapped it in a folded sheet of tracing paper to defuse the light.
- Set up your camera. Attach your camera to a tripod in a dark space.
- Paint! Turn off all the lights in the room.
