Enlightened Souls: Light Painting by Fabrice Wittner
“Enlightened Souls is a light painting project I started in May 2011 in Christchurch, New Zealand. I first thought of it as an artistic and morale contribution to the 6.3 quake’s aftermath. I used stencils to paint enlightened characters to remember human losses and to show the spirit of a wounded city. It turned out to be an interesting way to share ideas and feelings about society and life.By now, two series were made. The first one in Christchurch, NZ and the second one in Hanoi, Vietnam.” http://theinspirationgrid.com/enlightened-souls-light-painting-by-fabrice-wi
I think that this is an interesting project by Fabrice Wittner, a freelance photographer from France. Its interesting because her work represents other people, its like her work is giving respect to those who have suffered from this disaster, and I respect her for that. The media she uses for this project is also interesting I'm not really sure what light painting is but it looks exotic and complicated. I think this ia a interesting way to use stencil.
light painting- A 'light painting' digital photograph is created by the movement of a light or lights, using a slow camera shutter speed, to create a image. Because this type of photography requires a long exposure (typically from one second to ten seconds), it is usually done at night or in an unlighted room.
Stencil Task.......................................................................................
This was a quick task we did in our work shops with Frances. My stencil has limited colors because, I was thinking that if I had more then 3 colors, the images that my stencil is meant to show will disappear somewhere in the layers of color from the spray paint and I didn't want that. My floral prints I cut out in a stencil is a influence from Flox work, I love her detailed stencil.
My detailed stenciled influenced by Flox but I added a Micky mouse stenciled image on top, I think of it as adding my own flavor.
