Michael Bosanko
Bosanko discovered light painting by accident, Michael says “the moon formed part of the scene, but the camera shake caused the moon to make a streak. My curious mind clipped the camera from the tripod and, hand held, I attempted to “write” my partner’s name using nothing but the moonshine and the movement of the camera in my hand, and I had success. As soon as I returned home, I adopted the same principles but with torches, and I’ve been hooked ever since.”
I have found the work of Michael Bosanko and believe his work will be very influential to the work I want to achieve. This particular image looks like an image I have created during my experimental photography (second image down - pre edit) in which I took photographs of cars as they traveled past at high speed. I like the lighting of this particular image from Bosanko as the hills/cliffs in the background are extremely dark and light sources are the main points of focus. 
Jason D. Page “Light Painting is its own art form, just as drawing is a
n art form or painting is an art form. Calling light painting a photographic technique would be the same thing as calling painting a canvas technique. I am a light painter.” (Jason D. Page)
I like the work of Jason D. Page because I like the shapes he creates, I will be taking the images as inspiration for my own work and trying to create something similar using lighting and a long exposure.
