Light Painting Projects for High School Seniors

These light painting projects were created specifically for our High School Seniors. Whether it was their vehicle, or someone in the family owned it, they got to use it as an amazing photo opportunity during their senior year! There are even a few light painting projects here that don’t even have vehicle of any kind, just a cool location! As we do in each of our Light Painting Galleries, you’ll find the "before" photo, followed by the one-of-a-kind senior portrait with a fantastic light painted vehicle! Use the buttons below each completed artwork to take you to "The Rest of the Story" that’s found on our sister website's blog at Michael Anderson Photography (www.adesignerportraits.com).
