Any Photo is better with a human in it. Here it's easy because I had a wonderful model. Anna and I had a Studio session in 2017 and I was just revisiting the old files and checking if I missed some. Yes, I did!
Today you can see a few shots that I think are worth sharing as a quick memory-lane and flashback to a cool portrait session with some additional Light Paintings.
Jedes Foto ist besser, wenn ein Mensch mit drauf ist. Hier war’s easy, weil ich ein großartiges Model hatte. Anna und ich hatten 2017 eine Studiosession, und ich hab mir gerade mal die alten Dateien nochmal angeschaut, ob ich was übersehen hab. Ja, hab ich!
Heute gibt’s ein paar Shots, die ich definitiv teilen will – ein kleiner Flashback zu einer richtig coolen Portrait-Session.

Light Test before we do some Light Painting
Here we tested the conditions in the studio with the basic lighting. She was definitely a big tease!
Ok, Let's start already!
Since, keeping it simple was the credo I chose some Light tubes in Red and White just to set some highlights. Nothing complicated but a swing of the tool behind, around, and in front of her. All this was going super fast so I only had a few seconds of exposure time. Exposure times range from something between 5 and 12 seconds at the most while using an F-Stop from F5 - F8 on my Canon 16-35mm F2.8.
Der Einfachheit haber, schnappte ich mir ein paar Tubes mit Rot und Weiß, um ein paar Highlights zu setzen. Nichts Kompliziertes – nur ein paar Schwünge mit dem Tool hinter, um und vor ihr. Das Ganze ging super schnell, sodass ich nur ein paar Sekunden Belichtungszeit hatte. Die Belichtungszeiten lagen irgendwo zwischen 5 und maximal 12 Sekunden, mit einer Blende von F5 bis F8 an meinem Canon 16-35mm F2.8.

Simplicity rocks! Light effects should always be simplistic and not overly wild. Here this works super nicely. But you tell me which one you like.
Simplicity rocks! Lichteffekte sollten immer simpel sein und nicht zu übertrieben. Hier funktioniert das richtig gut.
How wild is still pleasing to the eyes is a matter of taste. That of course also counts for the model. But hey you guys tell me!
Here is way too much going on with the light. In my opinion!
Hier ist mir das Light Painting ein bisschen zu viel des Guten.
Whaaat?
Not sure she likes it!
This Light Painting shot is as simple as it gets and so really it works. Not too much going on and not taking the attention from the model. What do you think?
Settings?
What you see is a single-exposure Light Painting with a 7-second exposure time with the camera at ISO 400 and my 70-200mm, F2.8 Canon EF lens set to F5.6.
Einfacher geht Light Painting nicht – und genau deshalb funktioniert es. Nicht zu viel drumherum, sodass der Fokus komplett beim Model bleibt. Was meinst du?
Einstellungen?
Was du siehst, ist ein Single-Exposure Light Painting mit einer Belichtungszeit von 7 Sekunden, die Kamera auf ISO 400 und mein 70-200mm F2.8 Canon EF-Objektiv auf Blende F5.6 eingestellt.
NOW USE YOUR FINGERS!

I hope you found the story interesting and these images inspirational. If you have more questions please do not hesitate. I am happy to share my knowledge.
If you think this is Spam, why did you read this far, and why the fuck bother you? Move on from your self-righteous mind state and bury yourself. Don't bother about what others may find interesting. Just stay in your bubble and ...
