These photos were part of my photography exam at CAMPIVISIVI. The task was to produce different photograms with different objects. Instead of using the objects as a shape and the light as a source, I directly used the light both as an object and a source. I assembled fiber optics and an electric torch to obtain a sort of light emitting brush, then I used that thing over photographic paper in a darkroom. I could use it by literally painting on the paper, or turning it on and off repeatedly. By varying the amount of light and exposure time I achieved different results. I also experimented with the light emitted from a cellphone, and I tried to use the developing liquids to paint the paper. I really liked the results, and I used some of these big prints as the main artwork design for Dynamic Lights' album “Shape” as you can see in its page.
