I have spent 5 years searching for new forms in the field of long exposure photography with light painting. And I came to an innovative technique where the light painting changes in space, as if it were living. Light like a cloth, like a flower, like a flame. A completely incredible new light brush.

I am Sergey FOND Savenko, a night photographer and digital artist from Novocherkassk (Russia, Rostov region). In my works I combine night photography and light painting. I think that my nocturnal lifestyle and love of visual art got me into this direction.
Although the main subject of study is light, in my pictures the main role is assigned to the person. It is the combination of person and volumetric light painting that gives an incompletely predictable result and a feeling of the scale of happening.
Besides, using long exposure in night photography is a good way to capture things that are invisible to the human’s eye and to transfigure even the most regular places.
At the beginning of my practice I was inspired by photographers Eric Pare and Denis Smith and their works. Since then I have been studying different techniques, forms and materials used for light graphic and expanding the boundaries of this limited trend in photo art.
