              [Tutorial] Light Painting Master Dennis Calvert’s Techniques

              denniscalvert [Tutorial] Light Painting Master Dennis Calverts Techniques We’ve featured light-painter extraordinaire Dennis Calvert on Fstoppers before. Many of us were left wondering just how he creates those stunning images. Dennis recently wrote a post on his site detailing his method.

              In a recent blog post on his site, Dennis explains how he uses electroluminescent wire (el wire, for short) to create the otherworldly lighting effects that he is known for. While his techniques are well-refined and thought out, Dennis is sure to note that perfection is always elusive. To check out the full post and plenty of behind-the-scenes images, head on over to his blog. His gallery is also well worth a visit, if you have not seen his work before.
