Tools for your creative long-exposure life

All of our light-painting tools in our hands. With Kim Henry, Eric Paré and the Tube Tribe

What is that?

The tubes are photography accessories to make light-painting. These are plastic tubes in which we insert a flashlight. Then we wave the whole thing behind a subject while doing a long exposure photography.

How does it work?

We have tons of tutorials about this technique. You'll find the main ones on this page, but you can also consult the index to look up for precise topics.

Where and when to use the tubes?

We use the tubes mostly at the blue hour, but also late at night with the Milky Way, or in the studio. What's important is to have a dark environment.
