Lightpainting & Light Art Photography Master Tools

Torches, Tools & Lightsources

In recent months, I often been asked about new torches and tools.
A good lightpainting and LightArt Photography tool consists of two parts:
– good torches with different modes
– reflectors in tube, cap or blade form

Some light painter developed interesting but often expensive tools.
Usually a light tool is not expensive! Just have to be a little creative and imaginative and you can spare a lot of money.

To find interesting reflectors, blades or tubes is not difficult.
If you go shopping take a little torch with. If you see plastic tubes, water pistols, children toys, bring light in the gadget.
Look how is the color and the brightness.

You can buy thousands of torches, cheap ones very expansive and professional torches.
