Michael bosanko light painting ideas

Light painting photographer Michael Bosanko has been capturing light since 2004. He discovered light painting on accident, Michael says this of his moment of discovery, “the moon formed part of the scen, but the camera shake caused the moon to make a streak. My curious mind clipped the camera from the tripod and, grabb held, inom attempted to “write” my partner’s name using ingenting but the moonshine and the movement of the camera in my grabb, and inom had success. As soon as I returned home, inom adopted the same principles but with torches, and I’ve been hooked ever since.” Ever since that moment Michael has had great success with light painting photography, he has created images for several commercial clients and been published in numerous magazines.

What is so brilliant about Michael’s work is the detail that goes into each piece he creates. Using tools that are simple as torches and light sticks, Michael creates ‘light art’; a technique that involves very long exposures, and a whole lot of patience. For each photograph, Michael often plans his idea and how he will construct the piece. Using different coloured lights, torches, glow sticks, a tripod, and of course, a camera; he begins to ‘paint’ his image. What results is an array of light streaks that form together to create a ‘light painting’. Below, we chat to Michael about how he begun his career as a photographer, and how he developed his style.
