It was late in the year, cold and wet outside, so she proposed we shot at her friend\u2019s flat.\u00a0The main (and I\u2019m afraid to say the only) attraction was the staircase leading to the upper bedroom.<\/p>\n<p>It took some time to find a suitable camera angle. I needed to get a proper composition with the staircase. I also had to remove any distracting elements in the background from the frame. After a few trial shots, I realised I absolutely loved the shadows created by the staircase. This is something I\u2019ll definitely remember for future light paintings.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2278\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2278\" style=\"width: 641px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2278\" src=\"http:\/\/philippemonthoux.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Lightpainting-Singer-Staircase-Philippe-Monthoux-1.jpg\" alt=\"Light painting of singer Katie on a staircase looking at the camera\" width=\"641\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/philippemonthoux.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Lightpainting-Singer-Staircase-Philippe-Monthoux-1.jpg 641w, https:\/\/philippemonthoux.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Lightpainting-Singer-Staircase-Philippe-Monthoux-1-534x800.jpg 534w, https:\/\/philippemonthoux.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Lightpainting-Singer-Staircase-Philippe-Monthoux-1-400x599.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 641px) 100vw, 641px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2278\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">With light painting, one an create a moody image with a rather bland scene.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2279\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2279\" style=\"width: 641px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2279\" src=\"http:\/\/philippemonthoux.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Lightpainting-Singer-Staircase-Philippe-Monthoux-2.jpg\" alt=\"Light painting of singer Katie sitting on a staircase and looking at the camera\" width=\"641\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/philippemonthoux.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Lightpainting-Singer-Staircase-Philippe-Monthoux-2.jpg 641w, https:\/\/philippemonthoux.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Lightpainting-Singer-Staircase-Philippe-Monthoux-2-534x800.jpg 534w, https:\/\/philippemonthoux.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Lightpainting-Singer-Staircase-Philippe-Monthoux-2-400x599.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 641px) 100vw, 641px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2279\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">We couldn&#8217;t try too many different poses given the constraints on the composition imposed by the location.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A couple of light painting runs and we were done.
