I hosted a class the other night demonstrating the use of a PixelStick!
This is a nifty device that is used in light painting. The stick is a little over 6 feet long and has a strip of 200 LEDs that are controlled by a microprocessor that can generate over 16 million different colors at each location.
It can display all sorts of cool patterns and effects, plus you can also load images on an SD card (in Windows BMP format, 200 pixels in height) and the stick can “paint” the image as the user sweeps the Pixelstick across the air.
Here are some examples shot outside our studio at night. All of these images were totally created in-camera (no Photoshop involved). The possibilities are endless!
No, the fence is not on fire. The Pixelstick can “paint” artificial flames! So very cool
ALERT: January 15 Painting with Light Workshop is ALMOST FULL! REGISTER SOON AND SAVE $20! Plus participants and our former Painting with Light Students get to participate in a FREE fun activity with a PixelStick on January 18th!
Of all the photography workshops we host, one of the most fun ones is our Painting with Light Workshop! I keep the class size small, limited to only five students. After a couple of hours of teaching the concepts and techniques, the LIGHTS GO OUT and we do some really fun photography with a professional model.
Every participant gets involved in the creativity, as we produce all kinds of fun and sometimes wild images using time and light and motion.
Student regularly say this is the most fun photography workshop they have ever participated in.
Here’s what students are saying online:
“This was an absolute blast. Kevin’s sense of humor kept us laughing and his creativity kept us in awe. It was wonderful to get in there with the other class members and play with light! He keeps the class size small so we have a lot of hands-on learning and fun.”
“Your Painting with Light class really opened my eyes to a whole new way to take pictures. SO FUN!”
“Kevin’s “Painting with light” class was a blast. I have taken various classes from Kevin so far and this one was my favorite. It’s one of those classes that promotes creativity, provides hands on experience for each student, and the class is so fun that it ends before you want it to. Not only was it fun to watch the model being painted, but equally as much fun to see what each student ended up with. Kevin is passionate about taking photos as well as teaching photography to others. He’s kind, compassionate, respectable, and displays an abundance of patience with his students. I highly recommend this class to anyone wanting to take fun and creative photos in a friendly, safe environment.”
