”Tokihiro Sato is one of Japan's best known artists working in photography. Trained as a sculptor, he has been using photography since the late 1980s to express his ideas about light and space. In an ongoing series that he describes as "breath graphs" or "photo respiration," tiny points of light or illuminated lines record his movements through space. Using a large-format camera set on a tripod and timed for exposures that may last from one to three hours, he moves quickly through the described space.“

”Light artist Eric Staller could be called the father of light drawing or light graffiti in its present day form. Staller was born in 1947 in New York. From 1976 to 1980 Staller roamed the dark streets of New York City creating light painting photographs. Eric’s Light Drawing series could be the very first Light Art Performance Photographs ever created. In the late 1970’s staller set up his camera, open the shutter, and moved throughout the frame creating some amazing light painting photographs.“

”At dusk, when other landscape photographers stow away their equipment, we get ready to work. Whether its in the wind-swept Patagonian desert or in the icy northern part of Norway: wherever we travel we explore landscapes that reveal a magic beauty in the dark.  A bit of moonlight, a faint glow of northern lights, some modified torches or a carefully placed fire: that is all it takes to uncover what is hidden in the dark. And when the sun comes up the next morning, no trace remains to show that we have ever been there.“

”Since an early age i was always interested in art, drawing and painting and crafting and generally being creative. In 2011 i stumbled upon light painting photography on various forums and webpages and it just took my breath away. I was finding myself drawn to light painting at a miniature level using small figures as the subject of my photos. Partly from my enjoyment of building things with my hands and partly to attempt something that from what i could see not many people were doing then.“

”As a night photography addict and light painting enthusiast, exploration in derelict places is one of the main topics in my photographs. Simply documenting those buildings’ stories is the not the only thing I want to achieve. By controlling the light and time via light painting photography, I want to re-create them and build the “connection” between the observer and the observed. They are transformed on my pictures and generate the “unique” stories only belong to me. Create surreality in reality is a fascinated and unspeakable game to play.“

”Basically I started doing photography out of curiosity, and believe me light painting is full of curiosity and fascination. I learned about light painting through mere coincidence when I was surfing the web to find out about the method of panning shot which I took accidently. And since my childhood I have huge amount of interest in drawing and painting maybe that's what pulled me into this light painting stuff. Light painting is more like drawing on a paper except blindfolded.“

”In 2011 we discovered the Light Painting and since then our photo and artistic concerns revolve around the behavior of light and its possibilities exciting stories to tell, we love to discover how this technique can be fused with other photographic disciplines. Express our emotions through light it is a challenge to which we like to take in each session.“
