Alan Jaras Photography of Light

July 31, 2008Uncategorizedby Charles Cheng740 Views

British artist, Alan Jaras, creates beautiful works of art using the simplest subject, light. With a light passing through transparent objects such as textured glass, Jaras is able to capture these light refraction patterns directly onto 35mm film, without using a lense. By using various color filters, he is able to create amazing natural images of light explosions without using any computer graphics.

    I’ve worked in this style for a long time, it’s really fun, and you get amazing results, which then you can work with in other media, or exhibit them as they are, but seeing these and the responses has made me pretty confident for sharing my own stuff

    Thanks everybody for your great comments – they’re really appreciated. Just to answer a couple of questions; although the images are large (file sizes up to 300MB)if I publish large enough for wallpapers I’ve had the images stolen, the copyright infringed and the images offered for sale by the culprits.

    >Joel;some selected limited edition prints are available from http://www.agitatto.com, I’ve had one exhibition but I’m happy to hear from more galleries.A slight correction, I use just one single light source and yes it is fun.

    Beautiful. It always amazes me the different ways that people find to make beautiful art.

    Dreamcrusher, you do know you said “three good” in spanish, right? If you were trying to speak French, I think you want to say “tres bon”, But I don’t speak grenouille.

    That really makes you stop and think… There’s way more to this world than we are now able to understand. Perhaps when we are one we will. Or maybe we won’t care to understand and will just kick back and enjoy the show…
