Painting The Asylum

in Photography Lovers2 months ago (edited)

I was recently able to explore an abandoned Victorian Asylum in Hamilton Ont., known as Century Manor. Which was a great surprise because it has been sealed off with security for years. (post from that explore: https://hive.blog/hive-104387/@terrywayne/exploring-an-abandoned-victorian-asylum)

I knew I wanted to go back in for light painting, but it was sealed back up the next day! Now a couple of months later and I got a message from a friend, telling me that it is open again. I packed my gear up and got to it right away.

I started on the main floor using different light set ups for shots of the decay, then spun some steel wool.

The basement has two levels and I really enjoy the old brick and decay! The first level has more confined spaces, so steel wool was difficult but doable. Also tried some light figures while I was at it.

The second basement is a little more open, with long brick halls.

After setting the lights up, I decided a "vortex" spin of steel wool would fit the look, and I was not wrong! Happy with the shots, I ended the night. Extremely happy to have been inside of the asylum again and with the results!

This is awesome idea

Wow shots with lighting effects. Two years ago my friends and I tried to do something similar and it wasn't that successful.

A beautiful, creative and stunning photoshoot. Congrats!
