Can you identify where the light sources are coming from? Multiple shadows, layered highlights, and a depth of field that can’t be replicated with fixed lights. Well… your guess is probably right, I painted the photograph like a painter, but instead of brushstrokes with a brush, I did it with a tiny LED lights. I literary painted it with lights! How magical and amazing is that!

Long before digital photography entered the commercial world, some of the greatest photographers used this same technique for brands like Rolex. With the shutter held open, the artist applied light one second at a time. Through this process, you can create ideally lit, striking images with rich depth, shadows, and highlights—crafted entirely by hand.
