Hello, from Canada

Hey everyone,

 

I've been shooting UV for a couple years now on film, primarily. I've been trying to get a setup for portraits going. Here are some examples:

Welcome,

Those teeth look too perfect.

I look forward to seeing more of your work.

Welcome to the site! Nice to see some UV portraits - not so common here, or anywhere.

Most welcome to UVP, with or without portraits :) I'll look forward to seeing more of your work. If anything needs the be asked, by all means ask.

 

Do pay attention to undesirable UV input to the model's eyes, though.

And even less so on FILM! Very cool work.

I am using LEDs that emit at 365nm and expose the models only for the duration of the shot- under 10 seconds. Few models have shot with me more than once. I've also measured the output of my lights (at a distance of one foot) to be less than that which you get from sunlight at peak emissions during summer. Given that the rules I've derived for estimating shutterspeed tend to produce similar results when shooting in late summer sunlight, outdoors and well past peak emissions, I would imagine that I am not exposing them to much more.
