    Light graffiti is uniquely ephemeral and inextricably intertwined with the art of photography, sometimes even invisible to the naked eye and apparent only when captured on film. It is impermanent and its manifestations range from comical to sublime. The work of these twenty light graffiti artists spans the spectrum from humorously playful to deeply moving with everything in between.

    The artists themselves, though their traces are seen in every shot, are rarely visible in the finished work. Sometimes they or other people feature in the work but mostly what can be seen is the after-effect of their creations, a time-lapse snapshot that condenses space and time into a single beautiful moment. Each thumbnail below will connect you to additional amazing images, inside information and further links about each artist and their work. Click below to learn more:

      You left out one of the most famous light painters of our time. His name is Larry Orsborn aka toledophotographer. A great example of his work is “Blessed Art Thou” which can be found here: http://toledophotographer.devi.....u-57892927
