Two-Color Light Painting: Shoot

In this lesson I reveal how I capture light paintings using colored light sources. I describe my shooting mindset and show you what it looks like while I capture over a dozen exposures and then combine them into a single Photoshop document. If you choose not to do your own light painting, then you can experiment with the exposures that I captured, which can be downloaded below.

Note: The downloadable practice images for this lesson have been compressed into a .zip archive. That means you’ll need to double-click on the file to extract its contents before attempting to use the images in Photoshop.
