Sparkle and shine! I shot this portrait project at home using indoor sparklers to create memories that last

Photo project with indoor sparklers.

With daylight hours being short and the weather getting chilly, why not get creative and shoot some festive low-light images using some sparklers and a bokeh effect?

To create our final result above, I had to merge multiple images together as I couldn’t capture it all in one shot. The main image is of the subject holding the sparkler, and this has been layered with multiple bokeh images to create the final effect. Doing it this way meant I had complete artistic control over the final outcome, making it far easier to achieve results with plenty of impact.
