Sansome street foyer lights

Sansome Street Foyer Lights

Piece description from the artist

Beginning in 2006 I did a lot of driving around the San Francisco Bay Area at night finding interesting street and neon lights and I would move the camera with an open shutter with intentional camera movement. I would adjust the exposure time, light sensitivity and f stop to get the right combination to produce attractive images. This photo was taken of lights over the entryway foyer of a building on Sansome Street near Broadway in San Francisco. I printed it on silk and had it shown in a gallery close by where I shot the image. After the images was in the gallery I gave it to a young fashion designer who made a dress with the image. You can see the fashion prints I've designed with my photos printed on fabric on my website.

About David Klein

Daly City, CA

David Klein studied film, theater arts and philosophy at San Francisco State University. After graduation, he began acting and directorial training at SFSU and at a local theater academy. After appearing in a few productions he decided to put his artistic life on hold while he focused on his family and work as a real estate agent in San Francisco.

An amateur photographer for nearly his whole life, in 2006 David returned to school to study photography and art at the City College of San Francisco and took up acting again. He has acted in several local films and had the lead on a Biography Channel TV program.

In 2009, David was inspired to use his photography to create designs for fabric prints after discovering how he could "paint with light” by taking photos of street and neon lights at night using long exposures with camera movement to create abstract images. In essence, he moves his camera like a painter moves his paint brush, creating imagery that flows and moves in shapes that reflect the human form and work perfectly for printing on fabrics for fashion and can be applied to a range of products. David also loves to take photos of people, places and things which he uses for creating designs for fabric prints and designing fashion with his prints.
