Light Art
These images might look like digital paintings but they are 100% photographs.
It took me about 5 hours each to get all the elements right. I used light painting techniques (UV lights, LED lights and stencils) combined with a in-camera double-exposure.
Self-Confidence
Self-Esteem
These pictures are called self-confidence and self-esteem. They are similar but not the same.
Self-confidence is about trusting our ability to achieve what we want.
Self-esteem is how we value and perceive ourselves.
The star symbolizes our inner light. The diamond represents what makes us unique and precious.

Other Light Painting projects
My latest Light Painting Photos
These pictures are 100% Photographs. I use Light Painting techniques (LED lights, stencils, bokeh, kaleidoscopes, programed LED lights, spirographs and other props).
Sometimes I overlay 2 pictures in a in-camera double-exposure but most of the pictures are made in one single long exposure.
The process involves a lot of trial and error and usually takes many hours to complete. It is also very challenging because it is done in the dark and the results are completely unexpected. Please check the ‘Making Of’ video at the bottom of the page.
The pictures are available for purchase at my shop.
Cracked But Not Broken
Glass cube illuminated by a single torch in a long exposure.
This glass cube went through a lot. It was burned, frozen and dropped many times for different art projects. Until one day, it finally cracked. Before throwing it away, I decided to inspect the inside with a torch. I noticed that the shadow projecting on the wall was still intact. I was mesmerized by the illusion and so excited by my discovery.
The cracked glass cube inspired me. I often feel broken inside and just want to hide away from the world. But under the right light I can see things differently and find hope. After all, sometimes things are cracked but not broken.
