Journey to Colombia 4: #SanFranciscoAirport is a nice modern place but what I loved is it’s collection of artworks by local artists, collected since the mid-70s (when I suppose the airport was first redeveloped). What particularly stopped me in my tracks was this wonderful evocation of San Fran’s steep streets: 18th Street Downgrade, 1978, by the then 58-yo Wayne Thiebauld. Back in the 90s my ex & I ‘babysat’ an art collection of a friend-of-a-friend’s while they went overseas for a year or so; my favourite was a sensational 70s painting of a San Fran hill cityscape - now I know who the artist was! 💝 Other artists include: Carlos Loarca 1978, Robert Bechtle 1979, James Torlakson 1976, Eric Staller 2014, Merge 2014, Amy Ellingson 2015, Ursula von Rydingsvard 2015.

Artist research: Eric Staller

Eric Staller is an American artist and photographer that has commonly been referred to as the father of Light graffiti in its modern form. Light graffiti/photography is a method in which art can be made within a photograph by slowing down the shutter speed and allowing the camero to process the light being taken in. I myself found the process rather challenging and tedious as even the slightest movement from the subject would create a blurred image.

Even though Hanukkah is over now, we'll continue our tour through Jewish Phantom History for a few more days.

Day 8. Most of the team of the 1991 comedy version of Phantom (including creators BruceFalstein, Lawrence Rosen and Paul Schierhorn as well as Phantom David Staller) were of Jewish descent.

The 1991 musical was created to highlight Erik’s (or Eric’s, as the musical spells it) more playful side as a naughty trickster. It was both liked and loathed by fans alike but even those that hated it enjoyed “Perfect Music”, the song in which Erik explains his drive to compose and compares it to his love for Christine.

Another typical Merlin, Jeanne, Qin Shi Huang. srsly these 3 does well in alot of challenge quests so far as I also used this team in yesterday against Nero Bride, Fionn, Napoleon.

Anyway I did end up losing half of my team during the last break bar, Then the bad card rng in turn 26 and 27 was annoying but the last turn give it enough to finish him off. 

note: Eric Bloodaxe skill does fail at times so keep an eye out that when u have the opportunity to atk. Especially when someone dies or the np area.

I couldn’t think of anything else to do it with apart from my main who had the units to 3 turn Eric Blood Axe challenge quest easily. 

Anyway if ur using the stalling method make sure u have taunters in the backline to take the hit for u if u lose any of ur frontline stallers.

Lighting up the dark research:

Here’s a few inspo images-

‘The constructed image within photography’

The constructed image is an image that is planned and then set up the way you planned it but then experimenting with different techniques and trying new things.

Whereas staged photography deals with the setting up of a scenario before clicking the image, constructed photography involves creation of a “revised” image which might include the use of multiple images

Eric staller:

Staller was born in 1947 and is from New York. He was well knows for his light painting photography. Eric’s Light Drawing series could be the very first Light Art Performance Photographs ever created. It could be argued that Man Ray’s “Space Writing” series were the first light art performance pieces but there is no doubt that Staller’s images such as Light Tubes, Happy Street, and Technicolor Torsos all envoke elements of performance art

American photographer Man Ray realized several shots using this technique . This complete artist, being part of the main figure of the Surrealist movement, may be considered the inventor of Light Painting.

Light painting, or light drawing, is a photographic technique in which exposures are made by moving a hand-held light source while taking a long exposure photograph, either to illuminate a subject or to shine a point of light directly at the camera, or by moving the camera itself during exposure.

Talk About Light

Harold Ross

This image is taken to almost look fake as all the items are clean with no marks. The colour scheme is silver and gold making the photography tie together and flow with no distracting colours. The use of negative space with the focal point in the centre creates a sense of balance. The circular table creates a leading line drawing the viewers eye across the photograph. The texture of the image is very smooth.

TTTThis image is very old looking which gives us lots of texture throughout the photograph. The objects are scattered across the image creating negative space both across the top and across the bottom of the image this creates a sense of balance as it’s not too crowded. The colour scheme is dark colour like brown, black and dark green this ties the photograph together with no distracting colours. Having no bright colours ties in with the era of which all the items are from.

Trevor Dixon

This photograph is very simplistic with a few items neatly placed on a piece of material. I enjoy the simplistic feel this photograph gives. With the dark colours of the items the contrasting cards placed in the image stand out this draws in the viewers as they will want to see what the images of the cards are of.

In this image a pattern Is created from the cutlery divider, this also creates leading lines throughout the photograph drawing the viewers eye throughout the image. The colour palette of this image is dark rust, brown, metal and also with a pop of yellow and red this works well in this image as it breaks down the photograph so it’s not all too distracting.

Painting with Light

Eric Staller

Eric is an American Photographer who works with light painting (light drawing). Erik uses sparklers to create unique images.

In this image Eric has used sparklers to create the outline of the car. By doing this Eric has create mechanical feel as the sparklers a corroded effect. Eric could have either toke this image in one go or had many different layers to the image to have this as his final image.

Janeonardo

Janeonardo is a self taught photographer who mainly works at night using various lighting techniques for his images.

In this image Janeonardo has used LED light to light up different football tops. Janeonardo has worked for major brands like nike and major sporting advents like Fifa for there advertising images.

Harold Ross

Harold Ross is an American fine art photographer who has been using the light painting techniques for 30 years, his work has been seen all over the world.

I really love the softness of his images, he can really create a painting effect with his techniques, I love this image for the colours as they really pop out from dark background, Harold can create a better look with light painting than if it was on film, he captures each and every individual image, and creates his final piece where it comes to life . 

Allan Mendez

Allan is a photographer based in San Francisco he took a big interest in food photography and food styling, he studied in New York where he graduated for photography. 

I really love the styling in the photo, everything has been set up to create a mood, you can almost smell this photo, there is this really soft light or almost dreamy painting effect which really fits, all the colours really go with each other the greens and reds, which are complimentary colours. 

Eric Staller

Eric is a well known photographer for his light drawings, some would say he is the father of it, he was born in New York where he studied architecture,  in 1976-1980 staller would walk around nigh time New York  creating light paintings. 

This was Eric’s first ever printed images, he used sparklers and had to run fast around the street as they don't last long, when he saw this image, this triggered his creativity for possibilities with light drawing. 

I love how cinematic this image is, the tones, almost a orange and cyan feel most known for cinema colours, I just like how simple it is, not to complicated just this look of liquid fire around the street 

Jan Leonardo

Jan is a photographer who focuses on another kind of light painting called light painting performance, this is choreographed light paintings, it creates more life to the photos, He creates quite complex light painting performances. 

This photo was for a Tokyo motor show, and I really loves the colours and how he has created a bike out of light, its very like the movie Tron in my opinion, i love the contrast of the light from the darkness from the night and light painting really stands out

Dean Chamberlain

Dean has been a photographer since 1974, this was when he pursued a degree in fine art, dean was the first person to name the “light painting” technique, he was worked with some big celebrities like David Bowie. 

A lot of his photos are really colour full and stand out, almost quite flat in areas, but filled in with colours, his photos almost have this trippy look to them

Andy smetzer

Andy Smetzer is a small time American photographer who specialises in theatre at art and photograph and has tried some light painting his time, he's made a few still life painting with light images using the techniques that a lot of the light painters use. he has alotmof great images like this one "the Workbench" and many more.

I find this image quite interesting I like the textures we can see in this image, from the wood shavings to the metal of the nails and plane I find the textures work well and make this image great.

Harold Ross

Harold Ross is an American born photographer who studied at the Maryland institute college of art, in Baltimore, throughout his years of photography he has specialised in Painting with light, becoming basically the master of the painting with light.

this image apart of this "forged" collection, and is just one of many that I find fascinating in his vast collection of images, he uses the light in such a way that always compliments the subjects material and texture. he always finds a way to make things that are normal seen as dull or simple into great works of art almost, the detail that he can create with just controlling the light in a certainty is just one of many reasons why I can appreciate his work.

Janleonardo

Janleonardo is a self taught photographer who mainly learned to work outside and at night, using a wide variety of light and incorporated it in his work.

Janleonardo created this group of images for nikes campaign for the then new Fifa World Cup jerseys, the great thing about these images that I like is that the use of the LED lights in this image make the image what it is, with out the LED light the images would just be a cluster of new jerseys, the lights be used in the individual jersey images gives a nod to the team kit, having similar colours and patterns that fit with the new design on the jerseys.

Eric Staller

Eric Staller is an American photographer that works across various different genres in photography, in his early work Eric worked a lot with light painting or "light Drawing" as he called it. he used a lot of tools to do this from light to firework sparklers, this created a lot of very unique images.

I like this image from Eric Staller, the use of the sparkler is great it gives the effect that steel wool makes but more controlled, this image could possibly be just one image, unlike Harold Ross having a composite image with many layers creating the final image, this image above might just be one long exposure photograph as it is very easy and possible to do so.

Light Painting

When doing light painting in experimental animation Eisha and I decided to use finger lights and a UV light to create multiple shapes and patterns, experimenting with different techniques during the process. We found the whole process quite simple and easy to execute, however personally I much preferred when we used the finger lights as it created much more of a defined line when the picture was taken opposed to the blur the UV light created. When using the finger lights we took inspiration from David Lebe who was known for using small pins lights to draw outlines around his body, which created a neon style outline of his figure. When using the UV light it gave a much more diffused look which I feel would have worked very well for environmental light panting, maybe through streets or a forest. To get a better effect overall I think we could have experimented with some light tubes to create light paintings similar to Eric Staller who created many of them using light tubes and his environment.
