Years as a lighting designer made me realize I’m more of a shadow designer, forever adjusting where the light isn’t to highlight where it is.
I’ve spent over thirty years lighting theatre, television, dance, buildings, and events — and taking photos of all of them to record the etherial presence of light. In the process, I’ve gained a lot of knowledge about how light works, and I’ve discovered that the true magic of lighting involves leaving areas dark as contrast.
I’ve designed the light modifiers below with night photography in mind: reducing spread, lowering intensities, and preventing glare from the fixtures, but I am sure photographers may find other uses for them. Everything is designed and 3D printed by me, so if you have any modifications or adjustments you want to make please feel free to contact me and we can develop something together.
In my store, you can also find recent books I created using light painting techniques to capture buildings on Monhegan, Maine under starlight.
