Light painting is a photographic method that involves adding light to a subject with a moving light source, such as a flashlight, while capturing a long-exposure shot.

Painting with a beam of light can bring a scene or item to life. In photography, light refers to the position of the light source, which might be natural or artificial, in relation to your subject.

The position and quality of light in your final photo can alter everything from clarity to tone to emotion and so much more. Light painting is an art form in which the artist uses hand-held light sources to intentionally illuminate portions of a scene during a camera exposure.

To highlight a fragile artwork, lighting designers have begun to control the direction of light in recent years, rather than uniformly lighting an entire room.
