Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at andylay@andylay.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Composite Light Painting is an advanced lighting technique that allows the creation of high-quality, high-resolution images that artfully highlight the details of complex subject matter, such as aircraft, motorcycles, autos, and artwork.


There are two steps to creating a Composite Light Painting: the capture phase and the build phase. The capture phase is done in total darkness while various parts of the subject are lit, one at a time, each with a separate camera exposure. The build phase takes place on our custom-built computer and involves selectively combining the separate images into a single composite photograph.


The capture and build phases of a Composite Light Painting range in price from $1,000 to $1,500 depending on location. Metal wall art prints of the final image range from $750 to $3,500, depending on size.
