These light paintings are the work of acclaimed photographer Dean Chamberlain. Exploring the medium of photography using a highly original technique, which includes radically extended exposure times (up to 5 hours), the artist “paints” the light onto each element in the frame, methodically and delicately illuminating the composition inch by inch. Using a variety of light sources and an extensive palette of colors, Chamberlain creates deeply luminous yet mysterious documents of the human experience.
