This is Denise’s dragon – and as no self-respecting mythical serpent should be denied the ability to set things on fire, I decided to lightpaint in a little fiery breath. No models were singed in the making of this image…
What is lightpainting? It’s the art of lighting photographs with flashlights and other small, hand-held lights. If you’d like to give it a try you’ll find a tutorial here: Lightpainting Tutorial
I have been looking for pictures of dragons(good ones) so that I could put them in my picture file on my phone. This picture would like to get a better shot of, it looks really COOL. I have always liked everyhting about dragons Art or anything about them. This picture here looks like the tattoo is alive on the persons body breathing fire. GREAT JOB
Josh,
It’s a photograph of a tattoo on the model’s thigh. Lightpainting refers
to the way that it was lit, and the way that the “flames” were crated –
i.e. with a small flashlight bulb during a long exposure.
There’s another photograph of the model in the Infrared gallery, where you
can see the positioning of the tattoo.
