Dean Chamberlain is a photographer who specializes in lighting effects, more specifically light painting. This type of medium is very sensitive and is used while the cameras shutter is open, light is painted onto the places of desired color.
This produces a very psychedelic effect and is very unique. Born in Boston, Chamberlain was interested in photography from the age of 13. Dean got very into the psychedelic movement and after attending Sheradin college for only a year knew that his passion was light painting, working very closely with LSD guru Timothy Leary.
Deans works are very colorfully painted, using vibrant colors and overlaps giving the photo a ghostly trip feel to it. I'm really interested in this medium and am hoping to give it a try this upcoming photography class, i particularly like his portraits of people surrounded by absurd colors.
