Creating Memories. Capturing Moments. Story Telling.

Painting with Light

Light painting is a versatile and intricate method of photography that utilizes special LED lights to capture a series of images of a subject from the same vantage point. These exposures are then merged and blended into a single photograph, showcasing the subject in a way that is not achievable through any other style or technique. Virtually any three-dimensional object can be illuminated with light, opening up a world of creative possibilities. A light-painted image creates a stunning piece of art that will be appreciated for generations to come.

John is currently accepting commissions to light paint a variety of subjects, including:

- Automobiles (classic, current, and exotic)

- Motorcycles

- Musical instruments

- Tools

- Tractors, trucks, and other large machinery

- Architecture

- Commercial products

- Memorabilia

If you or someone you know owns a valuable treasure, a light painting by John La Barge will beautifully capture it at its best. Light paintings also make great gifts for those hard-to-buy-for individuals in your life.

How Much Does it Cost?

The commissioning starts at $750. The photo fee covers the time it takes to plan, photograph and assemble the images into a beautiful work of art. This shoot fee does not include a finished printed piece but it does include a medium resolution image to share on social media.

What Can Be Light Painted?

Any three dimensional object, from the smallest piece of jewelry to the largest building, can be light painted. The time to create a light painting varies according to the size and complexity of the subject, but usually takes two to four hours to complete the light painting shoot.

How Long Does It Take?

Our finished piece will be ready approximately a week after the shoot. From there we will bring you in for the unveiling. Once you place your order, it will take 2-3 weeks for delivery. You will receive a medium resolution digital file of the finished art piece, perfect for social media.
