You may recall the name Bas Montgomery from my workshop recap posts. He travelled here from the UK in 2018 to take a workshop with me. Bas has very successfully integrated my “Sculpting with Light” process into his photographic work.

A few months ago, Bas asked me to co-write an article on light painting for the PSA Journal, the publication of the Photographic Society of America, of which he is a member.

Of course, I agreed, and I’m happy to say that they published it in their January issue, and used my image for the cover!

Co-writing an article was an enjoyable process; it’s something I hadn’t done until now.

The article is a combination of some good examples of light painted images by Bas and myself, along with an explanation of my basic approach to using “Sculpting with Light” as a method of capturing tremendous depth, detail, texture and dimension!

If you wish to learn how to work with this powerful process (along with much more!), consider taking a workshop from me here in beautiful Lancaster County, PA!

I like to say that the workshop is not about making a masterpiece, but instead, it is designed to teach a process and a way of thinking about light. I believe that my “Sculpting with Light” process is very transformative, and the images of ordinary objects shot by my students is a testament to that.

There are three ways to take a workshop with me:
