Michael Bosanko's light graffiti
The stunning images in this gallery were created by photographer and light graffiti expert Michael Bosanko who uses long exposure shots and different coloured torches to 'draw with light.'
Every image was taken at night, where Michael had to map out each picture in his mind and use reference points on the floor to remember where he had shone light. The technique has taken years to perfect and is completed without the use of any image-altering software such as Photoshop.
The photography was commissioned by TalkTalk to mark the launch of a new TV advertising campaign on 15th August.
Photographs from five cities have been released as part of the campaign. In just one weekend, landmarks in London, Birmingham, Sheffield, Newcastle and Edinburgh were visited. Michael Bosanko said: "It’s been an incredible weekend racing across the UK, working through the night and trying to stay ahead of the sunrise. It has to be really dark to take the pictures, in order to give me as much time as possible to create each image. Street lights are big headache as the shot immediately begins to brighten up when the lens is open so I have to work really fast."
Here, he creates figure with umbrella outside Big Ben in London using just torches and a long exposure.
