Send us a text with your thoughts!

Light painting is a creative and adventurous form of night photography where you use a handheld flashlight to "paint" subjects during a prolonged exposure in total darkness. In this episode, I sit down with photographer Ken Lee to explore his journey into the world of night photography.

We also discuss something unique we share in common—besides our names—both of us are colorblind photographers. Ken opens up about how his colorblindness has shaped his approach to photography and offers practical tips and tools for fellow colorblind photographers. Whether you're looking to improve your night photography or navigate colorblindness in your work, this episode is packed with insights you won't want to miss.
