These magical images are made by an artist who paints with a brush... from light. Glowing neon lines contrast brightly with night landscapes. Illustrator Darren Pearson creates "light paintings" by running around and drawing shapes in the air with an LED lamp.
He puts his camera on a long exposure, which allows him to capture the resulting figures in the air. A marker with a lamp Darren calls a night-writer, that is, a night pen. The artist lives in Los Angeles and says that the most difficult thing is to find a dark place where the sky is not lit up with traces of nightlife.
The author is often accused of using Photoshop, but Darren never tires of explaining that this is not the case. The artist says that painting with light is “a sumptuous blend of exploration, exercise and self-expression.”
