Sorry for the late reply... It was done with a light brush with blackened fibres: the brush is moved during a long exposure, giving this surreal result.

Location
This photo was taken in my studio in Rijswijk, near The Hague.Time
As the studio cannot be properly darkened, we had to wait until after sunset.Lighting
The only lightsource is a light-brush. This specific light brush has darkened fibres, such that only the end of the fibres emit light. The brush was moved over the model's body in a long exposure, while she holds still. She did a great job, thanks Aria Rainbow!Equipment
The main equipment is the light brush with a strong torch. Otherwise it was a Nikon D800 on a tripod and a remote trigger.Inspiration
I love the creation of abstract and "out of this world" photos, which require a second look to understand what the eye sees. Experimenting with a light brush creates such dreamy effects.Editing
In post, I did some cropping, minor exposure and clarity correction. The photo is almost as shot.In my camera bag
The gear I normally use depends on the shoot. In the studio I typically rely on a Nikon D800, but I don't think the equipment is critical.Feedback
Make sure it's sufficiently dark and have enough empty space behind your model, a black background helps. The way you move the light brush will dramatically effect your result. Embrace it and experiment with it! Explain in detail to the model what you're doing. Have fun!
