Illum Light Graffiti

My friend Sean Nelson and I spent many nights in high school experimenting with light art, long exposure times, and shadows. Illum was the result.

None of these photos were PhotoshopÃ¢ÂÂd. These effects were created by carefully controlling the exposure time, aperture, and light in the photos.

Our work got some notoriety, including being featured in a few small magazines and the New Internationalist 2010 planner Archived Link, as well as being shown at the 2008 Nuit des musÃÂ©es at Le Compa Archived Link, Conservatoire de lÃ¢ÂÂagriculture in Chartres, France.

We also wrote a short how-to guide that is now linked to all over the Internet.
