Lightpainting With Children

Turn off the lights in the room, give a child a torch or flash light or anything that lights up and it won't be long until they are trying to move it around fast enough that it tricks the eye into seeing patterns of light.

The photography art form called light painting captures this. The art work is finished in seconds so it's great for short attention spans and can help develop an early understanding of how to get creative with a torch and a camera.

My son enjoyed it from the first moment and got quickly focused to do some special moves.

But you can also let the children experiment with the camera even if they are not familiar with it yet.

This is the very first result, where my nearly 5 year old son, did the lightpainting and the camera settings all by himself. I´m totally faszinated by it and I couldn´t be prouder.

Due to the fact that he likes to show the pictures to his friends, the interest in other kids is also aroused now. Accordingly, I will organise a free light painting workshop for up to 15 children in the next few weeks.

In cooperation with the creator of the video lightpainting software "Loomentool", the children will quickly develop an understanding of the art of lightpainting and can use the real-time projection to immediately unleash their creativity.

Get an impression on their website to see, how much fun it brings as well to a party.

I love to play it with it like a child and luckily the system is still Installed in my studio. Therefore I am shure the children will enjoy it a lot.
