I ’ m an air traffic controller , so I didn ’ t know too much about long exposure and lightpainting and I started to take photographs of landscapes for years until something happened .
About three years ago , I went outside for a night photo session of seascape . I mounted my camera on the tripod and started a long exposure shoot . After few seconds the camera fell down , fortunately without suffering any serious damages and after I saw the light trails on the camera screen I changed my mind about the way of taking photographs .
I knew nothing about lightpainting or what it was , but after doing some research I discovered a large community online that helped me to grown up , so I trained day by day on this technique using several staffs like selfmade stick with LEDs , recycled translucent materials like empty plastic bottles , colored glass , light toys and so on .
I started to feel like this technique was the most inspiring way to express myself and my sensations , my moods , creating something unique , searching always “ The light through the darkness ” literally .
It was love at first sight with lightpainting photography .
