Stunning Erin!
The light and composition are wonderful!
Your pose is amazing and your expression is... I have no words. There's a wildness and desperation in your gaze that is chilling and electrifying! The light painting adds an air of strangeness like a visitation from a spirit!
Wonderful collaboration! Amazing You!

the model is so perfect, and the look worthless. The story and the composition is also gorgeous a stunning. A fine work which should get at least a daily deviation.

very nice. it makes the photo so dynamic, it ads movement, speed to a photo that's essentially static..
you mentioned there was no other light than the flashlight. he did a WONDERFUL job of painting you in all the right places. the light and shadow play is great, on top of the streaks..

i agree painting with light a complicated task..used to do it for a living, on night lit crime scenes and auto fatality, and would light an area 200 feet long by 45 feet wide ..with normal 200 B's and camera exposure of sand bagged tripod of 3 + minutes ..with film...Its harder to do with digital as the "noise factor" is far more apparent..and grain could be controlled by added extra hydroquinone to the developer..and smothing it out on the contrast process via expansion or contraction aka " push and pull" ..of film....much like + and - EV and HDRI now
But a lovely shot and caught my eye as well

lovely shot, theres no information on the photo to judge if it was a slow exposure with the lights dont in real time or if this was edited in, the stream on the wall many elements suggest both, so im quite puzzled. at first look there seems that this was a well exposed shot & with offsetting & lots of burning it made to appear a under-lit atmosphere, im really curious to know where flashes were placed, & how this was done. my only quarrel with the shot is the light streak just above her. this photo retains a lot of tone in the over-exposed areas the ripples in the sheets, texture on the wall, her skin, (tones are everything in a BW shot) but that streak above it disturbs what could be a balance in the atmosphere of the room, where the subject & dynamic twists of lines shown around her, & the dark hidden parts of the room. it really distracts the viewer.... its the only dynamic twisting line that doesn't have tone, its way too strong, & confuses the subject matter. What do you think? ill even edit the shot to show...... lovely work by the way, bravo. caught my eye the minute i had seen the thumbnail.

It says light painting, that is all the information you should need. There were NO flashes, and NOTHING was added in post (Chip does very little post; he is so good at his style that he has little need for it). It was "painted" with light, which means the ONLY light source was a flashlight (or a torch as they say here in the UK) which Chip passed over the places he wished to be lit.
I prefer it with the streak of light. It adds an extra dimension to the lines and curve in the photo, and it is very distinctive Chip Willis lightpainting style. (It also should be a dead giveaway that this is, in fact, a light painting.)
