Canadian Photographer of the Month…Patrick Rochon

By | | , , ,

As well as having Artist of the Month I have now decided to feature a Photographer each month.

This month I’ve chosen Patrick Rochon. I picked him because of the unique way he uses light in his photographs. I don’t think I’ll try to explain what he does myself, instead you can read this short bio of Patrick.

Patrick is an award-winning Light Painting photographer with over 19 years of experience. First prize winner at the Nikon photo contest in Japan, Patrick has done Light Painting photography for various fashion and rock magazines, CD jackets, DVDs, posters, internet and other promotion materials. Clients also include Toyota and Honda. Born in Montreal, Canada, Patrick has lived mainly in Tokyo, New York and Paris for 15 years.

“My medium is LIGHT (moving lights) trough various media.I mainly use photography and video to capture the movement I create with lights. I started light-painting, combine with photography doing long exposure in the dark, in 1992. In 1999 I started creating videos and performances with lights. Then with friends we created a multimedia group and we built costumes of lights. Using video feedback, we performed by ”light-painting” on a giant screen creating a new visual experience.” -PR

Here are just a few of his amazing photographs. For more check out his website http://www.patrickrochon.com/.

About head birdbrain

Robin is an artist and a retired graphic designer living in Nova Scotia, Canada. Art has always been a major influence in her life, whether through photography, pottery, drawing, or painting. Although she thought about it for many years, she didn’t start writing until later in life. Her main influence regarding faeries was a book illustrated and written by Brian Froud and Alan Lee, although her drawings are of a completely different style. From then on, Robin began imagining her own faery world, which stayed in her imagination for many years until she finally sat down to draw and write it. When Robin began drawing characters and scenes, the full story had not yet shown itself to her. It wasn’t until most of the drawings were done that the story finally revealed itself, and she wrote the first draft of the first book, Famlaer – The Real Faeryland, which reads more like a descriptive work than a story, exploring Famlaer and its inhabitants. It provides a solid foundation for the following books: Famlaer 2 – A New Beginning in an Old Land and Famlaer 3 – A Different World, which are engaging fantasy/adventure stories for all ages.
