His work is similar to photographer Andreas Feininger’s project created back in 1949 when the French artist attached lights to a helicopter. Kimbell’s series is inspired by the works of Arizona-based photographer Stu Jenks who used light and fire to create similar tornado-looking light forms. Despite his inspiration, we have to agree that his final work is very exceptional and unique, don’t you agree?

The photographer explains his true passion in an exclusive interview: “What I love about light painting is that it gives me a level of control and creative freedom which is rare in most forms of photography. Through the adding of different light patterns, or by illuminating it differently, I can completely transform the scene.”
