DESCRIPTION:
In 2013, Montreal-based light painter, Patrick Rochon, stopped by the Learnster Studio in Ontario Canada, to teach a two-day workshop on light painting. Although he has spent the past 20 years mastering the art of painting with the light he truly believes that anyone with access to the right tools and some imagination can become an artist in their own right.
During this workshop, Patrick demonstrates a huge variety and lights and tools that he has collected over the years and how to modify them to get the effect you are looking for. He also teaches us the importance of movement, from the fluidity to the speed, and how to adjust your own movement to create completely different effects. For him, it is all about letting go and learning to trust yourself and to go with the flow and feel the energy in order to create beautiful organic images, in the moment, straight out of the camera.

A gift from Liteblades, Patrick Rochon, and the Learnster Team who had to close shop, unfortunately, but 1000x thank you to the production team for this gift.
