Light Painting with Allee

This was for a long exposure portrait photography class I taught at Imaging USA 2021 sponsored by Paul C. Buff, Inc. We used some full color RGB LED strip lights from WalMart to create this effect. We were in a light controlled studio & I had a friend dress in all black (like a ninja) & wave the lights around in a certain pattern while the shutter dragged for 8 seconds. This was the end result.

Everything is super nice but maybe use a softer brush to mask out the lights right around her face. It's a little bit distracting that they just end, abruptly, right there.
Otherwise, it's terrific! Light is nice, post is nice, skin looks great!
