Night Reflection 3.8

About this picture

Capturing time passing by in the silence of the desert as we contemplate & complement the stars above us.

Shooting in the warm desert at night offers probably the best conditions we can hope for. Not having to spend energy trying to remain focused and calm in uncomfortable conditions in which we know we won’t be able to perform for a long time is a luxury for us. During those nights we can truly take our time, contemplate and experiment during hours. We create and calmly wait for the Galactic center to appear.

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.
