Light graffiti photography is created using long exposure techniques, where the camera’s shutter remains open to capture the movement of a light source over time. As the light is moved through space, the sensor records its path as continuous trails, transforming motion into graphic, luminous forms.
For this work, I engineered custom handheld wands using PVC housings to securely contain LED components, paired with a simple hand-built on/off switch for controlled light activation during exposure. Considerations around weight balance, durability, and light diffusion allowed for greater precision and consistency in the final output.
The process blends timing, choreography, and technical fabrication to create dynamic, one-of-a-kind visuals captured entirely in-camera.
