Light painting is a technique where a light source is moved during a long exposure to create a illuminated pattern or shape in a photograph. This photograph is now recognized as a Guinness World Record for most light painted orbs in one exposure. Taking place back on July 19, 2014, 12 light painters ventured into the Virginia countryside to attempt the world record.
The group collectively called “East Coast Light Painters” consisted of light painting artists from all over the United States. Aaron Bauer, Christopher Renfro, CJ Yunger, Dennis Calvert, Jason D. Page, Jason L. Rinehart, Jeremy Jackson, Johnny A. Andrews, Johnny Dickerson, Laura DelPrato, Mike Newcomer, and Ryan O’Connell all collaborated to achieve the first Light Painting Guinness World Record! The resulting image represents the true spirit of the light painting art form in uniting people from diverse backgrounds for a creative collaboration.
