Having being blessed with the Perseid Meteor Shower in the last couple days, I was sat in my garden and thought I’d get out my flash light and my camera again, I haven’t drawn in a long while and when I do, I pick up from where I left off, back at the beginning. So I thought I’d put my artistic skills into practice and rather than drawing with a pencil, decided to use a flash light instead.

Inspiration: When I showed my Mamma my photography from drawing with light, she couldn’t believe it.. so I asked to come outside and I’ll show her how. I asked her what she’d like me to draw.. and she said: ”Un cuore” – meaning a heart.

I enjoyed this so much, the anticipation of not knowing where the line was drawn and seeing it after in playback mode just fuelled me into drawing more! Recently, I came up with an idea of a ’365 day drawing’ project but with pencil, I’ve decided to take this idea and rather than drawing with pencil, but drawing with light in response to Pablo Picasso’s ”draw with light” series.
This outcome of this experiment blew me away, having doubts as to whether it’d work or not and to my surprise – it did!

Today, on the 6th day of ‘A bug a Day’ project, I present to you a very tiny spider I found on a bottle of Fairy washing up liquid. Rough estimate of 3 millimetres in width and 4 millimetres in length. The smallest spider I’ve shot to date. I can honestly say my eye for macro photography is refining with vast improvements since commencing in the last 2 months.
I love being able to apply my artistic approach to my photography!
