Gjon milli
Gjon mili was born on the 28th of november 1904 and died 14th of february 1984.
He makes light painting's in a dark room with a film or digital camera.He would turn the flash on so the light would be caught on the photo because if it was do dark would wouldn't see much on the photo and if it was to bright would would not be able to the lines of light. He would take photos of dances to jugglers.Most off his photos are black and white so it make the photo look very simple but effective.The lights are attached to the dancers or what the photos are being taken of so thats why you can see the long white lines on the photos.

It reminds me of a video from Rizzle kicks called prophet (better watch it).In the video is a lot of photos taken one after the other but in the video they made there own light paintings.I used to listen to there songs and when I learnt about light paintings in class I remembered this video.

We had to make our own light painting with light. We needed a flash so you could see the person in the photo,small lights which would make the colours in the photo, tri pod so the photo won't be blurred and the camera will take a focused photo.
Doing light painting reminds me off rizzle kicks music video called prophet and john milli because they both used light paintings but most of john mills photos are in black and white.
I think painting with light is the hardest thing that we have done in photography because you have to get all of the settings on the camera right and everything is happening at once.
I have had loads of ideas for light paintings like balls that flash and taking a photo when someone is juggling them or we could all so use the flash multiple times so there would be multiple of the same person .another idea that i had was to attach a light to string and to swing it about and see if that would come out well.i have injured taking these photos because they are a challenge to take good photos.

in these photos we were put into our selfs into group's of four.we had to make our own light painting without the teacher. I wasn't fully confident on how to make our own paintings with light but i still got involved and tried to remember how to change the settings
In this task he had our own ideas,we had to make our own in groups that miss chose.at the beginning we got the setting right the first time but the lights we were using didn't come out on camera but I realised that the camera couldn't directly see the light so it was harder to see on camera so I told the class.I am fully confident making light paintings, I find it really easy to set up the camera now and the timings for the flash. I think this is the best thing that we have done in photography so far because your can be as creative as you want and there aren't many limits .
