Night Reflection 3.4
About this picture
The Milky Way, the moon, and us. Moment of humbleness in the desert.
Leaving no trace in the sand dunes requires a bit of strategy and a lot of running around in the sand on Eric’s part. We like to say that for us, light-painting is a lifestyle. It allows us to spend long hours outdoors, in many types of weather, mainly by ourselves with the beauty of nature. It gives us a purpose to stay in shape, as the process can sometimes be quite challenging. We wouldn’t have it any other way.

About the Night Reflection Three series
This chapter is especially dear to us as for a long time we simply thought it would be impossible to capture the milky way with our light-painting technique within a single image. As we kept trying and learning, we finally got to a point where we refined our mastery enough to achieve these images. Now an integral part of our art, capturing the night sky and especially our galaxy in our light-painting creations is a good reason to stay out very late at night, looking at something that we are part of, enjoying nature’s spectacle during the Milky Way season. These moments are indeed very humbling and inspiring experiences that we aim to immortalize with our pieces.
Just as every trace of light made by hand is unique and impossible to replicate, so is every night sky we capture. As we shape traces of light and partially reveal the beauty of our environment, we try to create a slightly altered perspective of reality where reflection is implied.
Twenty minutes later, we went on with this crazy complicated shot using a 800mm focal length. I was about 300 meters away from Kim.
