Light painting by Aurora Crowley. Alex DeForest Photography. Experimental Light Painting Self-Portraits. Self-portraits aren’t exactly ground-breaking — in fact, the word “selfie” was recently added to the dictionary — but Alex DeForest‘s self-portraits are anything but ordinary.

Experimental Light Painting Self-Portraits

His interesting creations mix light painting techniques with self-portrait photography to create some pretty cool results. We caught up with DeForest via e-mail, and he gave us a little insight into how he creates his experimental portraits: For most of my self portraits I sat on an ice chest in a small spare bedroom full of boxes and shelves. Typically I line up my shot first, get the focus, then put my remote on the floor so I can trigger it with my big toe. Maybe there is an easier way but I have fun. The artist who inspired him to experiment the way he does include Patrick Rochon and Aurora Crowley, both of which were featured on PBS back in 2011.

You might imagine that some of these photos took some serious planning, but for the most part, DeForest enjoys just “winging it,” so to speak. LightPaintingTools.com.

The first is Light Drawing this is where the light source can be seen by the camera, during a long exposure the artist uses this light source to draw or create a design within the frame.
