Daniel Valente is a Raleigh, NC-based photographer. I'd love to hear from you.
This was a cool shot to take. Pretty easy when I get the settings dialed in. D700 + Sigma 85mm f/1.4 on a tripod. Lighting was a 60” shoot-trough for the key and a bare-bulb backlight. Both were SB-900s. Sparklers provided the light painting. I believe about a 10 second exposure at f/11 or so.
