LICHTFAKTOR nutzt das Licht um ihrer Kreativität Ausdruck zu verleihen. Sie erzeugen mittels diverser Lichtquellen Fotos und Videos in nächtlichen Städten.

we use flashlights, biking-lights and flashing LED lights they all work with batteries, so that we are mobile, you also get nice results with fireworks & torches .
there are 3 different type of lights we use:

Xenon: makes a warm golden light.
LED: makes a thin precise line.
Cold Cathode: thick line/fat cap.

but the best results you get by experimenting, use filters and things which reflect light…
