Andrew Hall uses various LED lights to circle on different axes, take long exposure shots of them, and convert these traces into complex three-dimensional objects. Hall will not reveal his technology, but he said that these LED lights are readily available, but he made a simulation device to help him rotate the LED lights. This device is manual, very small and can be placed on a desk.
Hall said that Orbs's method of creation is slightly different from traditional forms of photography. In traditional photographs, light is reflected from the mass of something, but in Hall's light painting—in a completely dark room—nothing interacts with light, so the illusion must come from the light itself. provide.
He said: "I like 'out of nothing', which is a bit like magic."
In the next step, Hall intends to integrate the rhythm and pattern of the human body into his ring images. Hall said that from the most basic point of view, the movement of the human body is controlled by a certain axis, which is very similar to the simulation device he uses.
"Every time you move your hands, you are moving around the axis of your body. This is a hinge mechanism," he said. "From a mechanical point of view, hand movements are predictable." When photographs such as Carpathian and "Clibanarius," Hall said that he held an LED light, circled his hands and body, and then merged the things he photographed with what was shot with the machine.
