Finnish fine art photographerHannu Huhtamomasterfully uses light painting to create dynamic imagery.
In a behind-the-scenes video shot by his wife Sanna, we see Huhtamo creating his light painting.
Everything you see in the picture has really happened during the exposure, Huhtamo tells My Modern Met.
There’s something magical about it.
When you draw things blindfolded, you have to concentrate fully on your body movements and muscle memory.
It’s challenging, but also rewarding.
Such experience makes you want to push the limits higher and higher.
I still find it a really inspiring way to express myself.
He begins each piece with a sketch before turning to his light tools.
Likening the process to learning choreography, he then practices the drawing in sections.
By the time he makes his way to the location, he’s well-rehearsed and ready to go.
When he’s in the moment and on location, Huhtamo finds the entire process meditative.
