There are a number of photographers I really look up to. Freeman Patterson is one of them. I’m fortunate to own a number of his books, two of them signed by Freeman. I was reading “Photographing the world around you” when I came across a paragraph explaining how Freeman was attracted to photograph a pile of jeans.
Freeman’s description of the elements of design he saw in that pile of denims made me realise it could be fun to try to do some light paintings of an old pair of jeans of mine. Luckily these days night falls rather early, so I didn’t have to wait too long to get working on that project, as light painting must be done in the dark.





I lit these pictures with a StreamLight Stylus LED pen light. It works very well for light painting small objects.
