With the last three models we’ve had by our studio, we’ve tried to accomplish some photo painting techniques with flashlights, and strobes.

Thanks to the models that were willing to help out:

Anurakthi – Angie – Mayhem #590882 – http://www.modelmayhem.com/anurakthiangie

Shayna ding – Mayhem #1521750 – http://www.modelmayhem.com/shaynad

Rebecca Li – Mayhem #754772 – http://www.modelmayhem.com/rebeccali

Here are some of the better of the results:

For this shot, we used a 6 second exposure, and fired a stobe 3 different times once Angie was in possition. This is not photoshop wizardry, but complete use of long exposures to give an image multiple overlay.

For Rebecca, we wanted to try something a bit dark. The plan was to have Rebecca sit still for the first 3 seconds of the photo with 1 stobe firing within the first 100m/s. Then we used a flashlight to fill in the details, and movement of her, to give the image the appearance that she was coming, or fighting to get out of her own body! Looks pretty neat!   

In this last photo, we used no flash, and the room was completely dark. To expose Rebecca onto the sensor (film) we used an 8 second shutter speed, and used a flashlight and shinned it onto her body as a light source. The image has a different feel to it than if we were to simply use a flash and modifier such as a softbox.

In this example, we used a long shutter speed again, had Shayna stand still while we fired a strobe on her. The she slowly began moving to the floor, while assistants painted her with light (with a flashlight) and then one last flash exposure was taken once she got to the floor.

This is certainly not a new photography technique. Photographers have been playing with photo painting, or painting with light for many years now. We do hope we have brought something original to the table for our viewers. If you have any questions about the technique, or you would like to try it out one day, click “contact” on the main menu bar and send us a little information about yourself.

Hope you enjoyed, comments are always welcome.

Hi my name is Anurakthi, but I also go by Angie (if it makes things easier).

I have been blessed with the opportunity to work with some talented people, and gain some experience in this industry.

I am currently a full time student at the UofC, pursuing a BSc. in Psychology. I also work and volunteer part time, and though I can be very busy, I believe that I thrive from it. I am always willing to make time for someone who is interested in collaborating with me. I look forward to working with a variety of people and to grow and expand with this artistic expression. I am available for paid and select TFP/TFCD shoots! Just message me if you’re interested in working together.

*Sorry, but I will not do any nudes, implied or lingerie*
*I also reserve the right to bring an unobtrusive escort with me to shoot*

Hello, I’m Rebecca. MM URL: http://www.modelmayhem.com/rebeccali

I am looking to expand my portfolio with a variety of high fashion, editorial, creative, inspiring, and artistic images. I am a full time International Baccalaureate student, so it is important for me to mind my schedule and my studies when it comes to projects. I plan to attend university next year, aiming for either a degree in Pharmacy or Medicine.

"When you are modelling, you are creating a picture, a still life, perhaps something like a silent film. You convey emotion but you are only using your body."

-Helena Christensen
I am currently only open to select TFP projects. This include photographers that have an idea in mind, and that I believe may help me further develop my portolio. Please let me know if there are interesting concepts you would like to try out, as I will be more than happy to collaborate. There is much for me to learn.

For each booking, I need to know:
- a description of the project
- location
- length of shoot
- compensation offered
- If MUA, hairstylist or wardrobe will be provided

I am open to new ideas, however at this time and age, I will not do any shots involving nudity or implied nudity. Therefore, please do not contact me for nude work or glamour work.

Art is a product of the talent of the model and the photographer. If you are willing to collaborate sometime, please contact me, and I will check my schedule to see if something can be set up.

If I book a shoot, I will show up. I will always contact beforehand if there are any delays.
