This set up is what we use to make our orbs, domes, and any occasion that requires the light source to be visible at many different angles. To add color simply print out any color you want onto regular printer paper and tape it on. This particular flashlight is the perfect size for the canister to snap on and only costs around 8 bucks USD. They can be taped on if they don’t fit.
Fiz-iks was invited by Kevin Meredith to contribute two chapters to his new book. We wrote a chapter on light painting and one on star trails. The chapter on light painting covers tools and techniques providing lots of ideas for light painters of all levels. The chapter on star trails covers film and digital and location lighting.

The following week the tees were printed. I always wondered what light would look like when slapped on a shirt and to my surprise it looked amazing. We then wore these t-shirts for the cover shoot and following promotional photos to go with our spread in the mag. The cover shoot was done at the studio with the promotional shots done at one of our favorite locations. Below are a few...
