Description

David Gilliver is multi-talented, sharing his creativity as a light painter and miniature artist. His works are both entertaining and thought-provoking in both their composition and subject matter.

To create light paintings, he uses long-exposure photography techniques under the darkness of night. And his ‘Little People’ and ‘Toys’ macro photography series depict captivating scenes using miniature people and items to tell stories and offer social commentaries.

He has been recognized with awards at the British Photography Awards and earned a degree in Fine Art Photography from the Glasgow School of Art. He also shares his knowledge through workshops and e-books so other people can join in the fun too.

On this episode, host Angela de Burger chats with David about his techniques for creating amazing designs in his light paintings, why he loves small scale storytelling, whether his creative process begins with a visual concept or a message he wants to share, and how he balances being so active in two different creative specialties.
