    I find that using a photography flashlight with a dimmer and various light temperatures renders better results.

    Such a great and fun class. One of the most enjoyable I ever took and filled with lots of useful information. Ben Willmore's teaching style is really great. Would definitely recommend and will probably buy more classes by Ben.

    I've been interested in light painting for awhile, so I was thrilled to see this included in Ben's bundle package, since I'm learning Lightroom as well. Really enjoyed it! I appreciate the "trial & error" approach of the class so we can see the thought practice behind the photos, not just the final images. Really helpful tips for editing as well. I love the images on his website, which gave me ideas for things to try on my own. Fun, fun, fun!

    Really cool class so far. Just wanted something to get some inspiration and this is fun class but it's gonna force you to exercise. I don't work for creative live but I don't have to say that the quality of the few classes I've just started in photography is very good. I once was a professional photographer and I've taken lots of live classes and I feel the value of these is good. I am looking forward to watching the Clay Blackmore class.

    I love Ben's classes because he is so knowledgeable and leaves no question unanswered. The class is very organized and really helps you understand how light painting works so you can play with techniques beyond what's taught in the course.

    This course was a lot of fun and the instructor was an excellent teacher. I was able to go out and start light painting right away. Highly recommend this class if you are interested in this type of photography.

    This is the first class I took (gifted from a friend) in CreativeLive and it was awesome. I have talked to numerous others about Mr. Willmore's light painting and continue to try it myself. I hope to try bigger projects in the near future.
