Hi Alain,

 

Welcome to the forum.

 

UV Portrait is exciting, but not the easiest :) Since the most important is the safety of your models, as UV light is damaging to both skin and eyes. If you are doing outside shots then it might be a little easier as the Sun provides plenty UV for that purpose.

 

So what equipment are you having? Or are you planning to get? Camera / Lens / Filters? :)

 

Cheers,

Peter

Hi Peter

Thanks for the recommandation for safety ... i will definitely got through the safety section of the forum before using uv light on model

Yes ...my best bet right now ( since i never experimented with uv) would be renting gear ...

Getting a good UV filter and testing with my speedotron and profoto flahs system seems be the easiest way ...

I have found some mercury vapor uv light in montreal and i will look in to those ...

What ever equipement i can rent to test i will uses ... looking for the best possible result ...

So i am looking for everything ... lens camera and filter ..
