Welcome to the World Where Light Becomes Art
Light, captured by hand.
Darren Pearson creates every image by physically drawing in the air with light during long-exposure photography - no Photoshop, no AI, no digital tricks.
Each glowing line you see is painted in real space, in real time, using tools he invented.
This is what it looks like when imagination becomes visible.
About the Artist & Brand
Hi! We’re DARIUSTWIN - a family-run light painting art studio.
I'm Darren Pearson, the creator behind Dariustwin - a universe of art where light, long exposure, and imagination collide. My journey began nearly two decades ago with one idea: what if light could tell stories? What started with camera and curiosity has grown into a lifetime of color, motion, and wonder.
Over the years, I’ve expanded Dariustwin beyond still images into stop-motion animations crafted from hundreds and thousands of light painting photographs captured straight out of the camera - no digital tricks, just the real magic of long exposure photography.
Now we’re more than photos. We create fine art prints, light-painting tools, clothing, and creative gear for people who want to bring light into their lives.
I live in the mountains of Southern California with my wife Jordan (my partner in editing, concept, and daily magic) and our son Jasper, who sometimes joins the fun behind the scenes and even in our animations.
Our Mission
To bring wonder into everyday life.
We believe light isn’t just a tool - it’s a storyteller. Through art and creation, we want to inspire joy, curiosity, and imagination in every piece we make and share.

What We Create (and Why It Matters)
Everything we make is designed to help you experience, collect, or create light art - whether you’re hanging it on your wall, wearing it, learning how to make it, or bringing it into your brand.
✨ Fine Art Prints
Our museum-quality prints bring glowing worlds into your home - surreal characters, luminous landscapes, and moments of wonder captured in real light. Each piece is created entirely in-camera and designed to turn any space into something unforgettable.
🖊 Light Painting Tools
We invent tools like the Night-Writer so anyone can draw with light. These are the same custom tools Darren uses to create his viral images and animations - now available so you can paint your own stories in the dark.
