Laser Painting is a series of abstract photographs created using focused laser light and controlled movement of the light source within a dark studio space. The process is grounded in precise control of light—while simultaneously embracing randomness and the fleeting moment in which light draws.
Instead of documenting reality, Dan Gazit uses the camera as a drawing tool; like a brush gliding across a canvas, the laser moves through space. The photographs are made in real time, without significant digital manipulation—using long exposures that capture the act of light painting.
The resulting images evoke a language of calligraphy, gesture, and modernist abstraction, yet are created using 21st-century technology. The series explores the relationship between light, time, and movement, inviting the viewer into a visual performance of line, color, and space.
