A novel means and apparatus for a new kind of photography is described. In particular, multiple exposures of the same scene or object are acquired by a camera at a fixed location, while at the same time, one or more photoborgs (photographic cyborgs, photographers, lighting technicians, artists, or engineers) taking the picture may freely roam about the scene and differently illuminate various objects in the space visible to the fixed camera. A photoborg typically carries one or more portable light sources, typically interfaced to a wearable computer system, which is connected (wirelessly or otherwise) to a base station computer within or connected to the fixed camera. In this way, a photoborg can control the remote camera which gathers multiple exposures, in a manner analogous to how an artist applies layers of paint to a canvas. Typically a photoborg's wearable computer contains a display (viewfinder) which shows the state of the image, updating the display with each new exposure. An interface (typically taking the form of a chording keyboard built into the handle of a flashlamp, or the like) allows a photoborg to erase any desired exposure, or to change the intensity or color of any of the exposures and interactively see the effect, as it appears from the perspective of the fixed camera. Because of a photoborg's ability to constantly see the small incremental effects of the light sources, the apparatus behaves as a true extension of the photoborg's mind and body. 2
