With a little bit of imagination stretching, DIY spirit and some out-of-the-box thinking, Gulf Photo Plus (GPP) workshop leader Caleb Arias guides you through light painting using long exposures and every day light sources to create experimental portraits. All you need to get ready and turn your space into a homespun photography studio is a smartphone or professional camera and a tripod or flat surface to put your phone or camera on.

Materials:

• a smartphone or professional camera
• tripod or flat surface

Recommended for: Teens, adults.
