And, as with any shoot where the subject will be partially unclothed, ensure the environment is comfortable. In a darkened studio, while painting with UV body paint under. It’s a good idea to cover the floor and your makeup area with tarps or old towels so that they don’t get splashed with paint. Coming from a photographic background I want my paintings to be as photo realistic as possible. Ask your subject to try to stay still while you take the picture, and fire off two or three frames at a time. It’s caused either by camera shake or movement in the subject during the exposure. Motion blur can be a problem in low light. A lens with a wide maximum aperture is also helpful in low light – the best portraits lenses (opens in new tab) tend to have fast apertures are ideal. A tripod or monopod lets you drop your shutter speed down as low as 1/30 sec – shooting any slower increases the risk of motion blur in your subject.Ī camera with decent low-light performance enables you to capture usable shots at high ISOs – often necessary when shooting under the low output of UV lighting. UV lights typically have quite a low output, so you might need to lower your shutter speed in order to get a usable shot. Use it on any indoor or outdoor items that could use electrifying. The brand that we used and recommend is Moon Glow body paint (opens in new tab). This permanent acrylic paint has a solid purple color that will fluoresce under a blacklight.
As well as normal paints, you can also find mascara, nail varnish, hair spray and more. Phosphorescent body paint can be bought online (search for UV Body Paint). Cheaper ultraviolet lights and bulbs are available online, too. We used two UV LED battens to illuminate our paints and subject, which were hired from a party company. Ultraviolet light causes the pigments in phosphorescent paint to glow.
