Can someone please recommend or suggest some torches that can be used with photography to draw with light. Torches of different coloured light would be good as well. I've looked at some torches on Amazon but not sure if they are suitable. I'm sure you all know the kind of photos I'm talking about but here's a link to a photo to confirm:

Lots of people use Maglites and take the front element off, so there's just the bulb on view - gives a nice sharp light source

Any torch will do. Get a box of Quality Street/Roses and use the wrappers to cover the bulb.

That's what I use. A mini maglite, to be precise.

If you get a book of sample colour swatches from Lee Filters (free) you can use them over the bulb to get some really great effects and colours.
