David Gilliver’s Light Photography – Neon Orbs and Ribbons

Light exposure photography is one of those simple things that never ceases to amaze me- you see thousands of exciting applications of it all over the web, but somehow, each new photo still manages to blow my mind. One of my favorite light painters is David Gilliver; where you normally see a lot of sketched lines or car tail lights, he’s mainly focused on creating geometric elements with perfect orbs and winding ribbons. The scope of his images is immense- large, open locales feature huge trails or precise placement of carefully crafted luminescence. None of these photos are retouched- he runs around in the black of night dressed like a burglar to avoid being caught on film. Check out his brilliant work after the jump.

Author, Designer, and "that girl your mother warned you about." Looking good seems to be my job, whether it's working with the site design, or a number of other more interesting capacities. I have a ridiculous sense of humour and a brutal sense of honesty- you'll see a lot of that coming through in my writing, so don't say I didn't warn you if I somehow manage to offend you AND hurt your feelings at the same time. On the plus side, it makes my dating and advice columns a lot more pertinent to an unfinished man in the real world.
