I don’t see the point of the content. It’s good photography, but the relationship to Christmas is doubtful. Soooo they are liights, so what! These lights are used for a lot of different things all year long. Why Christmas?

Christmas lights are a great source of inspirations for photographers as you can ply with a selection of different color bulbs or shapes. The effect is pretty striking on some of those pictures.

I was looking for Christmas card photo ideas for my kids and came across this website. I thought these images were great! Not for everyone but I appreciated them. I’m thinking of doing a family friendly version with my children for our card this year. Great work!

I personally thought they were very beautiful …I liked the black and white shot in bed…very peaceful …I think it is very imaginative …and not harmful …Good Job ..enjoyed looking at your pictures, and your interpetation of “lighting”

Interesting comments from all, however, if these had been presented in July I’m betingt there would have been fewer negative comments. If your are concerned about your model being shocked use a set of lights that operate on low voltage DC. They can be purchased at just about all the big box stores. (The ones used in these pics all run on AC 120 volts which won’t kill you unless your in a tub of water or have a pace maker.)

You could also plug them into a power strip that has a built in breaker. If there was a short the breaker trips and power is cut to the light. This is similar to the recepticles found in most bathrooms and next to kithen sinks. If fact use that as your power source and get the added protection.

Some of these lights do get a little warm/hot and unless you plan to use low voltage lights I wouldn’t use animals or kids as my photo subjects,,….just a precaution.

On the positive side, I think it’s a pretty neat idea and plan to try out some pics with my grown kids and girl friend. Mery Christmas all!

Hi everyone! I’m not a photographer by any definition of the word but I love to shoot with my lil Nikon P6000. Every year at my huge family Christmas party we do family portraits and I would LOVE to do this style of photo this year.

Could anyone on here tell me how I can set up my little camera to take these shots? It’s not a DLSR but it does have many of the settings options. I would appreciate any help!

Thanks!

One or two maybe a bit out there for my taste, but I love the idea! I have don’t this before with families and it is a cute, fun idea that changes up the typical Christmas Family Portrait.

Some of the older strands of lights do get a little hot, so I suggest using newer ones and keep an eye on them, to make sure you don’t burn any children.

You can not get harmed by led unless you consume massive amounts, then it just lowers your IQ. If your licking the cords, it probably isn’t all that high to being with!

I don’t find these photos disturbing – just tasteless

Although I like alot of them. Some kindof bug me. I get what some of u were saying about the bondage and nudity. But it didn’t really SHOW anything, ya know? And yeah I get how people would e worried about their children being exposed to lead. But come on guyz! Live a little! It’s art! I’m glad that there are people out there that are still concerned. But you know…maybe….people should like…smell the roses? Lol idk. In otherwords, don’t worry so much and enjoi the art!
