Light Drawings - Image Bank





I think that light drawings are a very effective way to show off the creative use of light because it is very abstract and unique. It also shows off good contrast between the bright colourful lights and the dark background. As you can see from the photographs above, light drawing can be done in many places from in the streets to just a simple black background.

Light Drawing/Shadows - Work Diary

In this session I did both photography with shadows and I experimented with using light drawings. I believe these shoots went really well because I came out with some great pictures. To photograph shadows I got some bottles and shot pictures of the shadows created, as one of the bottles was green there was a green shadow which made the photograph look unique. I believe it was a really good shoot because the sun was out, therefore photographing shadows was easy. I also did a photo shoot using light drawings as I believe it is a creative way to show light. I also believe this shoot went very well as the photographs came out so much better than I expected.

These are my light drawing photographs, I really like the way they turned out because they are really clear. First of all when shooting these photographs I used the torch on my phone to make the light line drawing more obvious. Afterwards, I experimented with using a balloon and a torch which was really effective.


These are the photographs I took of shadows. I also believe these images turned out really well because you can clearly see the shadows from the bottles. I also really like the way that green bottle photographs turned out because I wasn't expecting it to work so well. As it was sunny outside the photographs came out really clear.


In the next lesson, I am going to experiment with light and water, to do this I am going to go to a pond and photograph people and objects and their reflection. I believe this will be quite a good shoot because it is a creative yet subtle way to show the creative use of light. I am also going to try and shoot more shadows in different ways to expand my project and to show of the creative use of light.
