In May 2026 I tried a night portrait in Viernheim with Nin. The idea was a person lit in colour on a bridge over the motorway, with the traffic kept as long streaks of light.
A night portrait in Viernheim, before the traffic
We started while the sky was still useful. Red light came first.
Red is a hard colour on skin, so we moved to green and liked it enough to stay there. A few frames are very close.
Lilac was next, and we made another run of portraits in that light.
The long exposures
The last set is the picture that started the evening. Nin stayed on the bridge, and the cars below turned into lines of light.
A worker from the road site stopped, because people had asked about the strange light on the bridge. We explained, he smiled, and he drove on. Thank you, Nin. I would gladly do this again.
