Darren Pearson: Skeleton Light Drawings Are Creepy Yet Inspiring

Following our little motion-capture theme we had in yesterday's post, I bring you this.

Darren Pearson, a photographer from Los Angeles has developed his long-exposure photography into a stunning art form. He says "I started doing stick figures at first, but over the years they gave way to more complex illustrations.

We at Glopho think they're fab! We hope you do too!

These fantastic photographs take a lot of patience and in most cases, a lot of improvisation.
Darren uses LEDs to "draw" his characters in a scene and a long exposure on his camera (Keeping the lens open for a long time) in order to capture them to look like stationary people.

These ones are our personal favourites, but click here to flick through some more of the same set which are equally as stunning.

Why don't you have a try at light-drawing? It's really fun to do and so easy to get started! I'm sure it won't be long before you could be creating masterpieces like Darren's!

One of our favourite sites for tutorials is The Digital Photography School and they've got a tutorial on light trails too! Click here to be educated!
