In May 2009, we started our inaugural creative photography workshop series. The theme for the workshop is "Painting With Light".

As the name suggests, this workshop is all about photogray with creative lighting techniques. In most other genres of photography, the subject is within the background scene, together with all the ambient light. But in "Painting With Light", the photographer will "create" the background, but without all the random ambient light.

The main concept is to suppress all the surrounding ambient light, and use an external light source to "paint" the background into an array of lighting patterns.

The photo shown here (right), is just an example of how light can be manipulated into the creation of a photograph. Creative Lighting Photography allow the photographer to push his creativity into the next higher level.

The photographer now is not just merely someone who clicks the shutter button of the camera, but he is also truely an artist which he not only poses the mode, but draw and creates the entire photograph scene as well.
