Interlude of Light With Faleena Hopkins

These series of photos was part of a project using author, actress, director, screenwriter Faleena Hopkins as the subject. No AI was used in the making of these photos as everything was done "in camera". The "painting with light" technique (long exposures in combination of using specialized flashlights) was used to convey a surreal, fantasy and mysterious feel with the city of downtown Los Angeles as a backdrop. This specific location was chosen as it had multiple layers in the background to enhance the scene: body of water for reflections, moving electric swan boats, the water fountain and of course the cityscape at night. Faleena Hopkins acting talents with her poses came into play which really helped in creating a sense of visual storytelling left up to the imagination of the viewer.
