Painting with light is a photographic technique where images are created or enhanced using controlled light exposure during long-exposure photography. In this method, a camera is set to a long shutter speed in a dark environment, and light sources—like flashlights, glow sticks, or even candles—are moved around to "draw" in the air or illuminate specific parts of the scene.  The result is a surreal, glowing image where trails of light appear like brushstrokes across the photograph. Artists use this technique to highlight subjects creatively, create abstract patterns, or write words with light. It combines photography, movement, and imagination, allowing for endless experimentation.
