My biggest photographic passion is light painting. With over a decade of experience, I am one of Australia's most prominent light painting photographers. This genre of photography can be defined by the "intentional addition of artificial light to a long exposure photograph". My styles include creating art nouveau inspired light plants, illuminating woodlands and other interesting dark landscapes. Most of the photos in this gallery were created in a single photographic exposure. ​

 

Stephen Knight is a Light Painting, Night Cityscape, Portrait, and Thermal Imaging photographer based in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Available for photography work, workshop/camera club events, and commissioned art.
