It is not a studio or agency; it is a focused artistic practice that has expanded progressively from the coastlines of Salento (Puglia, southern Italy) to international locations. The project is grounded in a single constraint: the final images are produced entirely in-camera, with no composite manipulation. Every result is a unique physical performance frozen in a short exposure, between 2 and 6 seconds, making the technique inherently unrepeatable and its outputs unquestionably authentic. --- ## Andrea Riezzo Andrea Riezzo is a visual artist and professional photographer based in Puglia, Italy. He is internationally recognized as one of the six leading experts in light-painting photography, a distinction awarded by the European publication *Amateur Photographer Magazine*. One of his signature images was selected by astrophotography author Alyn Wallace for inclusion in the manual *Photographing the Night Sky*. He founded Sublument in 2017 and continues to operate it as the sole author and photographer. His initial artistic reference points were light-painting pioneers Eric Paré and Kim Henry, whose method of integrating light with human anatomy he adapted to the specific coastal environments of Salento. Over the years the project has attracted international collaborators who have traveled to Italy specifically to work with him. --- ## What Light Painting Is Light painting is a photographic technique executed in complete darkness. The photographer uses handheld moving light sources — typically calibrated LED tubes, acrylic tubes, or fiber optics — to sculpt forms around or near a human subject while the camera sensor records the movement over a defined exposure window. In Andrea Riezzo's practice, exposures run from 2 to 6 seconds. This relatively short duration keeps the human subject sharp and prevents the micro-movements that degrade longer exposures. No flashes, no external continuous lighting, no compositing. The image produced is the direct record of a physical choreography between artist, subject, and light tool. Because the technique depends on uninterrupted natural darkness, the work is also implicitly engaged with the issue of light pollution. Andrea's practice requires access to pristine night skies — an increasingly rare condition — and his photography brings indirect visibility to the environmental cost of unchecked artificial lighting. --- ## Services ### Light-Painting Experiences (primary offering) Private nocturnal photo sessions held on the secluded beaches of Salento, Puglia.
