Painting with Light

 Light Graffiti 1

A num­ber of graf­fiti artists have been tag­ging every­thing thought to be impos­si­ble with­out being caught. Well — it’s actu­ally not ille­gal for them. They’re not using paint. As it turns out, time-lapse pho­tog­ra­phy isn’t just for bloom­ing flow­ers, sky­scapes, or brake lights any­more. Termed Light Graf­fiti, tag artists are tak­ing their colour to an all new level.

Using an expo­sure of about ten-to-thirty sec­onds and a tri­pod for best results, Light Graf­fiti artists start at the first click. Glow­sticks, flash­lights, reflec­tors, and even torches have been used as medi­ums to cre­ate all sorts of designs and tags, as the artist becomes a ghost of a blur, if vis­i­ble at all.
