I did a couple photoshoots this week using black lights combined with strobes to create some trippy neon glowing effects. Also, as in this photo, I was able to get a beautiful https://argaux.com/buy-seroquel-online/ surreal glow.

Photographically, black lights are basically low powered continuous lights so I used the same techniques that I would use for tungsten. But the fun thing about black lights is that fluorescent paint and objects give off a glow and become light sources!

Tips

• Work with a makeup artist who has fluorescent makeup and body paint. Check the makeup under a black light to see how much it glows.
• Bring neon fluorescent clothes and props to the shoot. Glowsticks work too. I found some neon tulle fabric that worked great.
• I used four 48" fluorescent tubes to provide enough light. They were available in some hardware and party supply stores, but I had to look around.
• You can go with either long shutter speeds or high ISO - both have advantages and disadvantages. The long shutter speeds risk motion blur and the high ISO shots can be noisy. I found that for my camera ISO 400 worked well, but different cameras perform differently so experiment.
• Try using a strobe with a long shutter speed by setting your camera's flash to second curtain sync. You will get some trippy effects by moving or zooming the camera or having the model move around.
• The black light is dark blue-violet, but you can add other colors by using a backburst and gelling the strobe.
• Have fun and experiment!

I am following my passion for photography! After 19 years working in the corporate world as a scientist, vialis 40mg I made the switch to running my own photography business in 2009. As a kid I was developing my own film and printing my photos, and later I got more serious with a 35mm camera. I bought my first digital camera in 1999 and love both film and digital today. In 2007, I started taking photography courses at Langara College, one of the top photography programs in Canada. I expect to complete the program by the end of the 2010.
