Abstract

This experimental research aims to create, modify, and combine existing light technology to produce artworks and images. Choosing appropriate light tools is crucial as each has its own strengths and weaknesses, which must be considered in line with the assignments or concepts. The research employs interviews, questionnaires, and experimentation to develop advanced photography techniques capable of revealing unknown scientific elements. The findings reveal six (6) interrelated categories that distinguish the light tools: brightness, colour, contrast, space, length, and power. The documented experiment on artificial light in producing light tools is key to these findings. This research contributes to the advancement of photography techniques and inspires readers to witness the resulting images based on creative ideas.
