Timber Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 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 Link to comment
autorhino Posted June 21, 2019 Author Share Posted June 21, 2019 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 ..Alain Link to comment
