Talk:Light painting

message: Okay, there's some more modifications that can be made...
There are a number of photographers who are really hardcore into this technique.  I am one of them, so I'm really not sure I can do the listing justice without falling out of NPOV.
One starting point is this blog entry.

message: Can anyone start a list of professional artists who use this technique? Of course, I mean fine art photographers, people who would have entries on Wikipedia. 76.100.175.5 (talk) 03:32, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Another unusual aspect of 'Light painting' 

message: There is another unusual aspect of 'Light painting' that is referred to as 'Painting with Light'. This technique involves projecting transparencies but not always on to a screen!
The first time The London Trophy for artistic photography was ever awarded for a colour photograph was in 1967 for a photograph by John N. Cohen titled 'Spirit of Spring' that consisted of a colour portrait blended with a colour negative of a tulip, created by photographing these projected images. This was the first time a negative and a positive image appeared on the same emulsion. Other top award winning pictures were also created where a portrait was projected on to a butterfly wing, a feather, a shell, or on to textured fabric (not always flat). This way the projected image is then photographed so that the screen becomes part of the subject.
'The Times' on 16th December 1967 'The Times Diary' featured The London Salon Trophy award. A copy of this newspaper can be seen at http://www.jncohen.net/Limited%20Edition%20Prints/Evidence.htm

replies: text: I was the one who edited the heading and shortened the section. I think the reason for people objecting to the entry was the way in which one example was made to look very important, with no mention of, for instance, the way this technique has been used elsewhere, like on buildings http://www.google.com/images?q=fete+de+lumiere or in general http://www.google.com/images?q=projection+art . You will of cause not be able to write that this was your invention without providing a independent reference which confirm this. If you would like to expand the section I suggest looking up "projection art", there is quite a large number of examples online, and a large collection of creative commons images available http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=projection+art&l=commderiv&ct=0&mt=all&adv=1#page=2 . If you are indeed a pioneer in this field, it would be much appreciated if you could help find the most significant "projection art" or "light paintings" that has been done. Thank you. --Thorseth (talk) 08:44, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  My link has been removed again!!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_painting 

message: On the wiki light painting page the Barbara Morgan link in the first paragraph links to the wrong women. It should be link to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbara_Morgan_(photographer) not to the astronaut.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.201.63.159 (talk) 18:47, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Barbara Morgan 

message: The article is vague on the advent of the term 'light painting', apparently after 'light drawing' had been used for some time, and mentions little on 'painting with light' which may be older still (as described in  and ). Better referencing would sort this, as presently we have only the unreferenced statement 'In 1977 Dean Chamberlain gave birth to light painting' to account for the change in terminology. What Walker and Adams both describe are techniques of washing parts of an scene (usually architectural interiors) with light during long exposures; methods used for artistic purpose by the likes of Chamberlain etc., but not, in fact, 'giving birth' to the technique.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Light art performance photography and Light painting seems sufficiently similar to be best discussed on the same page. I therefore support this long-standing proposal. Klbrain (talk) 14:09, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Light art merge 

message: I have taken the liberty of shifting the lengthy description of 'light art performance photography' from the introductory para. So often in photography claims to being the originator of a technique are made by practitioners with a poor knowledge of the history of photography. The claim that "The main difference...is the inclusion of the background in the photo" is where its description becomes unsupportable, since that is not an innovation; that is precisely what Mili and Picasso had already done. I'd like to see discussion of 'light art performance photography' edited to highlight its real distinction, which is the performative aspect of creating 'figures and structures only with light' facilitated through the use of newly invented light sources like the LED, iPads etc. Shall I carry out the edit? Do other editors support it? 
Tokihiro Satō should be included in this section...a practitioner of 'light art performance photography' with a prior (1990s) claim on the technique over JanLeonardo. The Wissenschaftsfotografie is a prize for Scientific photography, not a specific prize for light painting - it should be removed from the article and the section removed until someone finds a prize specifically given for light painting imagery. --Jamesmcardle(talk) 09:45, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
