Light painting is a photography technique that involves using a moving light source to illuminate a subject or scene while the camera shutter is open. The result is a photograph that reveals the path of the light source, creating an ethereal and often surreal effect. Light painting can be used to create a wide variety of looks, from gentle swirls of light to bold streaks and lines. While it takes some practice to master, light painting is a versatile and fun technique that can be used to add an element of creativity to any photo.
