The "Painting with Light" technique provides a unique look to images with a soft smoky light and a mysterious feel. I usually end my photo sessions with a few of these shots as a nice wind down for both model and photographer, and they often end up being some of my favourites. Therefore, I thought I'd share the simple set up I use for this and a couple helpful hints.

If you are interested, you can see a few more examples on my website.

Of course, I couldn't do a post on this technique without a nod to the man I most associate with it, and who's work inspired me to try it myself, Danish photographer Emil Schildt
