Lighting Technique

Jonathan Cosh has created and mastered a sophisticated lighting technique that enables us to create imagery of the highest quality. Our images are produced by individually lighting different areas of the scene using various light modifiers to carefully control the flash light in that area. This has now become known as ‘light painting’ and was started back in the late 1990’s, whilst Jonathan was still working with film. A separate photograph is captured for each lighting variation in readiness for post-production. Once the complex post-production is underway, between 20 and 80 individual images are layered together allowing complete control of the highlights and the shadows to create an enhanced version of the scene, whilst retaining the original atmosphere of the room. This technique enables us to produce and deliver images that are beautifully lit with a high dynamic range that would not be possible with conventional lighting.
