Light Painting With A Wakeboard

Mon April 15, 2013

Photos that incorporate light painting are fascinating. Usually it involves a person painting with a light source while leaving the shutter of the camera open during the process. Now imagine strapping different colored LEDs to a wakeboard and photographing the wakeboarders doing their thing. The result is fantastic!

Mike Dowdy, Adam Errington, and Dallas Friday strap lights to their wakeboards and join with light painter, Patrick Rochon, in an effort to capture the inherent emotion and creativity of athleticism.

Here’s the Behind the Scenes of “Camera Warfare.” Devin Graham directed this tongue-in-cheek video of WWII warring factions using cameras instead of guns. No Canon DSLRs [used as props as well as to film the video] were harmed in the making of this video.

CREATE: Li Wei, Photographer, Magician, Artist

Tue July 24, 2012

We have all seen and been amazed by the “gravity defying” photography of Li Wei. People seem to hang in mid air, about to fall from skyscrapers, buried to the neck or crashing through walls. How does he create these works of art [which are accompanied with a certificate of authenticity]?

The Creators Project video gives a Behind the Scenes look at how Li Wei creates these photographs with cranes, wires, mirror, scaffolding, acrobatics. And, of course, Photoshop. However, the people are actually hanging precariously from outside the windows of skyscrapers and Photoshop is used in these cases to erase the physical wires keeping the people from falling to their certain death.

Of course, Li Wei is not the only photographer who has featured levitation as a theme in their photography. The Creators Project highlights 5 other such photographers. In fact, there are many other interesting videos from photographers around the world on the site. Well worth a visit.

The Brush Wars – Destroy All Art! and Behind the Scenes

Tue November 29, 2011


From CorridorDigital

This could be dubbed the “Art Attack” sequel when Niko goes on the attack to destroy all Art to avenge the death of his twin brother by a rogue street painting. Lots of fun ensues.

In this high octane video, art comes alive and fights its creator, seemingly having the upper hand until the latter drops his gloves and decides to fight art with art. He paints an ingenous trap that crushes the evil art. Flushed with victory, he walks away…

Nick Veasey X-Ray Photography Behind The Scenes

Mon November 14, 2011


From NattFilmsProductions

British photographer Nick Veasey doesn’t use a regular camera. He uses x-rays to capture the inner workings and inner beauty of various objects large and small. Where a typical medical x-ray lasts all of 0.2 sec., his x-ray photo requires more like a 5 minute exposure. The x-ray image is the same size as the object being photographed, so you can imagine the amount of work involved when taking pictures of large objects like a car, a bus and an airplane. A mini cooper car can consist of 300 individual images of the doors, seats, tires, etc. all digitally reassembled into a photo. Where “people” pictures are concerned, he uses dead people and skeletons.

For his cover shoot for the Focus on Imaging 2010 catalogue, he photographed a Nikon D3x DSLR for 2.5 mins. In all, he took about 12 separate x-ray pictures (the lens requiring a longer exposure), which were scanned and photoshopped together.
