Christopher Kennedy, New York
To create the Photo Luminism technique, I have combined my loves of photography and colored illuminations with the effect of static light sources on a digital sensor in motion.
The complex images are created in a long exposure using meticulously staged illuminations while the camera and lens are manipulated to achieve the intended goal. Photo Luminism abstractions of ‘light unseen’ are created entirely in-camera in a single exposure with no creative post additions.
The challenge for me in creating this series was to result in something different; something fresh and alluring; to show how beautiful light can be and to capture the imagination, stimulating thought and conversation.
I believe that if art is to be bold, the statement it makes should be equally outspoken. To that end I print my images onto large sheets of lightly brushed aluminum, a medium whose inherent reflectivity enhances the images of light with an almost 3-dimensional luminosity. The dye sublimation process is utilized for exceptional color, brilliance and longevity.
