Description
Photo belongs to my experimental black light series “Let out the Beast” as well as to my university application portfolio.A very weird, difficult but also exciting series! I honestly didn't think black light photography was that tough - at least with amateur equipment. Had to shoot in our attic and at night so that it’s dark enough, with two black light sources. Still had to intensely edit the original picture though resulting in an exaggerated grainy effect.
Plus, who would’ve thought, I’ve never posed totally naked in front of a camera. I never posed anyway in front of a camera.

Hello from ProjectCommen t ;]
This will be more like just bunch of questions, because I usually don't know what else comment than natural characteristic of pictures which can be useful or interesting for me in my next work. If you looks at my work you discovered I'm not much ... artistic. So here we go:
First thing where I stops is question which chemistry was used there. I don't know much about fluorescence caused by classic UV wavelengths in classic colors used for art except few like titanium dioxide in titan white. But last time when I seen such colorful result on human skin was when bunch of drunken people decided broke their glow stick and cover themselves in glowing product. So I hope that those aren't made with light sticks because as far as I know phenol is created in reaction with some of those stains. It can cause mild burns on skin or irritation and skin needs some time for recovery after irritation. It is also classified as T chemistry - it means it's toxic with various effects on living creatures. So it's not much clever idea put it at sensitive parts of body.
Otherwise I'm surprised how good results looks like there. Mine experiments with ultraviolet light and various surfaces, even biologic ones never came out so nicely as there ;] I also have no idea how much I must altering the picture for getting result like this. Looks little bit overexposured to me, because sources of UV which I have give totally different result - many of them have wider spectrum of wavelengths, it's not single one usually. Results then came much brighter and more close to classic light. So what is that extra value there? Did you use filtering glass for removing of unwanted brightness? Something for dimming of the ultraviolet light? I know how to do this in microscopy with filters but totally don't know about tricks for regular photography.

Yo, this photo would make for a lit album cover. So much badass packed into it.
