This light painting is particularly special to me because the requirement for the project was to tell a story through the painting and during this time I had just found out that I was pregnant so I wanted my painting to portray that. To create this light painting, I had my camera set up on a slow shutter speed, then I drew the 'baby' using a circular glow stick and my husband was behind me outlining my torso with a flashlight. Even though this light painting may seem simple, this actually took a very long time to figure out. We created this through a lot of trial and error because we first had to figure out how fast to 'draw' with the light and then we had to see what light sources showed up best on camera and then we had to time our movements perfectly together to not get extra lights painting in an unwanted area. At first I had expected to do a much more elaborate painting but was limited due to the camera's settings and the amount of people I had around to help me. Therefore, if I were to do this project over again I think I would gather up a lot more people and find a nicer camera that would fit my needs better in order to create a larger and more detailed painting.
