Photographic artist Luke Rasmussen uses long exposure images to illustrate the path he takes when climbing various rocks.
Exterior. Desert. Night. In any movie scene, if a rainbow suddenly appeared, the movie would fail because it would be completely unbelievable. But it is undoubtedly because they would not know the work of Luke Rasmussen , a photographic artist who, with his “long exposure experiments”, manages to turn his climbing routes into multicoloured spectacles.
With my photographs I try to somehow capture the passage of time and freeze it.
Luke Rasmussen
Photography and climbing, a combinable hobby.
Rasmussen, whose love of climbing rocks and boulders stems from growing up in Utah near the mountains of Colorado and has maintained it for 17 years, honing his technique to reach extremely difficult peaks, has created the Climbing Inspire series, taking advantage of programmable LED lights that he straps to his body, his camera remote and “climbing as fast as possible to get the fluid look” he seeks.
How does Luke Rasmussen do it?
It has two types of photography: opening the shutter and closing it when it reaches the top, but this only works for short climbs, less than ten minutes, changing the colour of its LEDs every 2 seconds automatically; or, when the rock formation requires more time, opening the shutter in bursts of 30 seconds, manually changing the colour itself, and then joining it all together with Photoshop.
