HOW TO LIGHT PAINT IN AN ABANDONED FACTORY (PHOTOGRAPHY TUTORIAL)

In the beginning, I had no interest in photography. It seemed complicated, and video was much more attractive. I came across a night photography and light painting tutorial video, and then that all changed. Learning photography is the secret to making beautiful videos. Most of what you learn transfers over directly. It's the key to making art with a camera.
When taking photos, the best way to learn is to play. Getting ideas by watching videos about tips, tricks, hacks, how-to's, then going out and make your version of the idea. It's not stealing, it's inspiration, and it's how creatives get creative.
We filmed this video in Harinera Nacional, and abandoned flour factory in the north of Mexico City. This place has an interesting history, it exploded about 15 years ago, and now has become a bit of a haven for graffiti artists, and urban exploring.
Some important things to keep in mind when light painting:
- You need a tripod to stabilize the camera
- The camera cannot move.
- You'll probably need to manual focus due to the darkness
- Use light like a paintbrush. Paint the areas you want to show.
- Use a long shutter speed (we did 30s)
- Have fun. It usually takes a couple tries.
