Rainbow Road: Photography Series by Daniel Mercadante
Published Jun 28, 2018
Photographer and filmmaker Daniel Mercadante uses long exposure and light painting techniques to create these incredible ‘Rainbow Road’ images.
“The collection of images sees a multicolored neon trail illuminate the landscape and seemingly take on a life of its own, as it snakes over quiet hills, weaves through forest trees, and twists around street corners.
Resembling a real-life Mario Kart race track, the series was made using a custom-built lighting rig covered in rainbow-colored gels. Mercadante ran across the landscape with the rig while his camera—set to a slow shutter speed—captured the scenes, blurring the movements onto one long rainbow road.”
