LICHTFAKTOR nutzt das Licht um ihrer Kreativität Ausdruck zu verleihen. Sie erzeugen mittels diverser Lichtquellen Fotos und Videos in nächtlichen Städten. Das Kölner Künstlerkollektiv bestehend aus VJ $ehvermögen (Fotograf und VJ seit 1997 mit jahrelanger Erfahrung im Eventbereich) und JIAR (Kommunikationsdesigner und Graffitikünstler) experimentieren mit den Möglichkeiten, die sich aus Langzeitbelichtung und Malerei ergeben. Ihr Ziel ist es die Möglichkeiten des “Lightwriting” auszureizen und weiter zu entwickeln. Die LICHTFAKTOR Crew nutzen bewusst den gesamten Raum und binden diesen in ihren Fotos bzw. Animationen so ein, dass dieser nicht nur Kulisse, sondern ein Teil ihrer Arbeit ist.
HOW TO DO IT.
this are the basics:
to get the best results you need a tripod. the exposure should be around 10-30 sec. or longer if needed. stay in front of the camera and do your writing. to not overexpose set the camera to about iso100, and close your aperture as much as possible. if there is still too much light, you might have to use a nd-filter. it is always nice to integrate the surrounding into your picture.
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…
