NEON WATERFALLS

What do you get when you put together neon glow sticks and the majestic natural beauty of Northern California’s waterfalls? The coolest collection of photographs you’ve ever seen in your life.

"Neon Luminance" is a series of long exposure photographs by Sean Lenz and Kristoffer Abildgaard from the multi-media group, From the Lenz.

The stunning images were created by dropping glow sticks into the water and then snapping photographs as the bright objects floated down the drop off.

And just in case you were worried, the glow sticks were sealed during the entire shoot and everything was collected afterwards, so the waterfalls can remain just as beautiful as ever, although a little less colorful.

Installation In Passing

“I would like my work to point back into the world. I spend a lot of time crafting specific situations, framing light in such a way that it reveals a portion of the complex order within the ambient environment. But there is nothing particularly special about the light that enters these works. Echoes of this same order can be found in your home, entering your windows, skirting around furniture, slipping through a crack in the door. I want to call attention to a type of beauty that usually goes unnoticed. ” – Chris Fraser
