Orb defines an optical effect consisting of small spheres or luminous globes.
The intense light emitted by the flash hits particles in the air that have a shape similar to a
sphere. The light rays emitted by the lamp strike the outer surface of the particles on the side facing the camera, reflecting a large portion of it and expanding the area
according to a cone in which each ray has a reflection angle double compared to the angle between the incident ray and the normal to the surface of the particle.
René Val Hensdigen, a Dutch musician and artist suffering from severe Parkinson’s, created a music video using the photographic work “Orbs” by Ramses van Veldhuisen.
The video lasts 15 minutes and was created through meticulous efforts, with the artist
creating an endless series of layers in Photoshop, allowing the water droplets captured in Ramses’ photographs to come to life. It took years to complete due to constant and violent hand tremors.
The images were modified so that the position of each figure in the photograph
changed 20 times per second.
