Hi everyone,
Long time no see : I was on vacation in the French West Indies.
My parents and most of my relatives were born and raised in Guadeloupe. I know it sounds exotic for most of you but, for me, it's casual : I was used to spend summer vacations here almost every year until I turned 20. But, when I grew up, I wanted to see other places so I came here less often.
My last trip here was back in 2019, before all that pandemic madness. Before Covid-19, I was used to take plane maybe 6 or 8 times a year. This trip was the first I made since december 2019.
Two weeks is really too short to visit family and friends, explore, do collaborations with local artists and spend time to lightpaint a bit. I promised myself to go back there next year 🤞
This specific picture was taken during my very first LP session on the trip, on a beach called L'Autre Bord in the city of Le Moule. I love that location, because it's really quiet and tourists-free, and this is one of the places I spent my time here as a kid back in the days.

WHAT IS LIGHTPAINTING?
Lightpainting is a photographic technique in which exposures are made by moving a hand-held light source while taking a long exposure photograph, either to illuminate a subject or to shine a point of light directly at the camera, or by moving the camera itself during exposure. Nothing is added or removed in post processing.
