Light Painting The Stellar Matrix

The Stellar Matrix from Glasgow was another band who responded to my call for people to collaborate on my personal light painting project. The lead singer Richard proposed we shoot at the Berkeley 2 studios in Glasgow where they usually rehearse. I used the first half an hour of their booking to do a couple of light paintings.

Rehearsal studios are not the most glamorous locations to shoot in. But I immediately noticed that wall with an interesting lighting pattern. Posing the two band members in from of that wall, I simply light painted them.

I blended the available light frame with the light painting ones to get this photo.

I didn’t want to do just one set up, so I tried a vertical composition, which in my opinion looks better cropped to a square format.

It was more difficult to find a suitable vertical composition.
