I have been fascinated by Urbex (Urban Exploring) photography for many years. Photography in "Lost Places" includes portraits, colourful long exposure light paintings, and cinematic illumination. 

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.
