Alec Johnson on “Light Painting”
At the April 17 meeting Alec Johnson’s talk will feature a series of bold and unique images using the technique of light painting – lighting a subject with a flashlight one detail at a time with a flashlight – and then compositing those frames of light to build a finished image. Each image is its own case study, creating an engaging, lively and educational discussion.

Alec is also a Singh Ray Filters pro photographer.
