Description
These images depict the technique of steel wool photography, a form of light painting. Photographers spin burning steel wool to create dynamic trails of sparks against dark backgrounds. The resulting compositions feature bright orange and white lines that contrast sharply with the night sky or water. While some shots include human figures standing within the circular patterns, others focus on the abstract shapes alone. A shared visual motif across the group is the use of long exposure to capture the motion of the burning metal.
