Its a Timelapse with some sort of smaller light source.
You can see the individual flare from a torch or such item in some of the pictures.

I agree with most people : Paillé has some better work in his book than this. Take a look at his Stranger serie. But gotta get it off my chest : I know this guy and he’s a douche.

I think its a bit strong to say “I hate landscape”. The images kinda growing on me. The photographed scenes would be rather sad, cold and uncomfortable without these warm lights. The lights create some sort of comfortable living room atmosphere that make the shots interesting for me. A making-off on the light installation would be great.

magicians used to do everything with ropes. since ropes or cables can’t be seen anywhere, I for one, can’t seem to figure out anyother technique.

I’ve always liked this site for the interesting stuff you find but man….what is with all the hate??? Good lord! I’ve read more hateful and negative comments on this site than I can stand. These landscapes are an interesting and different take on an old, classic subject. Will it revolutionize landscape photography? Likely not. Does that mean it deserves so much crap thrown at it? Wow….

I applaud him for thinking outside the box (pun intended) and doing something different instead of going with the masses. It might not be what most qualify as a landscape, or fine art for that matter, but everyone is a critic, and art is really seen from the perspective of each viewer, some like it some don’t.
There was an effort put into this also, planned shoot, carrying gear to location, set up. etc. Just something to keep in mind, before you hate on someone who is being ACTIVE about their creativity.

very poetic … very interesting … a mixture of light painting and landscape.

they are the truest sense of environmental portraits… I enjoy them but would much more greatly enjoy them if the light was fired into the scene and not be part of the scene.

I think it is landscape with artistic view.
