Pablo Picasso did a series of light drawings in 1949 using
long shutter speeds. Picasso’s light drawings
were done with a fine torch and a camera at a long
exposure time. The room would have been very dark to allow the light to appear so well on camera. Picasso was inspired by Gjon Mili who had previously taken photos of ice skaters with
lights attacked to their skates. Picasso’s image was
taken by leaving the shutters open, which
enabled him to capture the light streaks.
This image above is attack to imitate Picasso’s light work. It’s an abstract image that was edited on Photoshop to sharpen the image. I altered the exposure and contrast to define the image.
