For my assignment I want to make light painting photography using skateboards, by attaching lights to the board and capturing the light as the skateboard moves through space. I feel this is a very original way of showing movement using light painting.
Statement
For the ‘LIGHT’ assignment, I decided to take the brief literally and took photographs which related directly to light itself. Light painting is when you basically have the camera on a long shutter and capture the light (which you literally paint in the air) in the frame. I attached several, different colored lights to the edge of my skateboard, took photo’s of me skating around Wellington, and the light shows the path the skateboard took in the duration of a flip or grid etc. I wanted to show a skate-photography style picture, with the addition of light painting, showing the exact path the skateboard took. The images were taken with a shutter speed (depending on the complexity of the shot) between 10 and 30 seconds, therefore a tripod was needed to get the image clean and in focus.
I think that my final six images express my idea perfectly and all came out very clean and well done. I feel that my idea is clearly shown in these images and in saying that I feel I have succeeded in making my proposal a reality.
