Originally, “photography” refers to the technique and art of creating images using light. The word “photography” is derived from the Greek words “photos,” meaning “light,” and “graphé,” meaning “drawing” or “writing.” Combined, it literally means “writing with light.”
In her photo series ‘Painting with Light’, Wendy Leyten revisits the essence of what photography truly means—writing with light.
‘Painting with Light’ invites you to enter a world where photography not only captures a moment but also tells a story through playful use of light. This series pushes traditional boundaries as light is transformed into a tool of creation, and darkness becomes a stage for visual narratives.
Each photograph in this series is a unique artwork, blending technical skill with artistic expression. By skillfully manipulating shutter speeds, exposure, and movement, Wendy Leyten directs a symphony of light. The results are stunning images that seem to have emerged from a dream world, where luminous streaks and patterns rearrange the contours of reality.
Immerse yourself in an enchanting journey where light is not just a means to see but also to feel. From glowing spirals wrapping around objects to subtle sparkles capturing the emotion of the moment, ‘Painting with Light’ celebrates the boundless possibilities of photography. Each image tells a story, each beam of light contributes to the composition, and each moment is captured in a play of shadows and shimmer.
This photo series invites you to embrace the art of creating with light and to explore a world where visible reality is transformed into a captivating spectacle of radiant imagination.
