The Light Painting KATA by Patrick Rochon
http://www.thecoolist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/The-Light-Painting-KATA-by-Patrick-Rochon-1-600x400.jpg
In his stunning brand of light painting photography, Patrick Rochon is both the photographer and the subject, a painter of light on a pitch black canvas. With a slow shutter on his camera and an array of lights in his hands, he dances with the light before the shutter closes. The result is a visually vibrant still image, with interweaving lights of varying colors and shapes, that looks like nothing the eye can see elsewhere.
Recently, Rochon released a series of stills he calls The Light Painting KATA, a visual study on the slow dancing martial artistry of Kata. The western translation of this Japanese term would be “shadow boxing”, a term that aptly describes Rochon’s process. When the shutter opens, Rochon bends, twists and throws the light around at arm’s length, not unlike a boxer training for the prize fight of the mind. Enjoy the visual dance below, and don’t miss Rochon’s website for more great light painting photography.
