Janne Parviainen creates 'light paintings' featuring eerie figures lurking in snowy forests. The picture above shows a skeleton, surrounded by red-eyed snowmen, rising from a ring of fire. Janne, 30, from Helsinki, explains: "Light painting photography uses different light sources during long exposure times. All of my photos are straight from the camera, the light skeletons and light figures are drawn with LED lights, and no post processing of any kind has been done to them."

"The exposure times vary from a few seconds to hours, depending on the desired effect. The actual light painting can be done with coloured strobes, flash lights, light toys or tools especially engineered for light painting," he says. Credit: Janne Parviainen / Rex Features
