What a beautiful word - "freezelight"! Although in some sources, paintings painted with light are called differently: light graffiti, light painting, light writing. Lightwriters, who for sure are in all cities of our vast Motherland, create in the night and record the results of their activities on a camera, in pitch darkness and at maximum exposure.
You can draw with anything: with flashlights and LEDs, lighters and burning candles, even mobile phones - the main thing is that they glow brightly. Light painting is created both alone, setting the camera on a tripod, and in groups - and then whole performances remain in the photograph with the participation of a variety of light sources, often multi-colored.
Abroad, members of the Lightfactor community are considered masters of lightwriting, while in Russia the largest communities are located in St. Petersburg and Moscow. The work of Russian masters of light graffiti can be viewed on the Freezelight website. Many hobby clubs are also registered in the blogosphere and social networks.
