Ultraviolet portraits

"ultraviolet portraits" by Andrea Pettinari and Andrea Ghidini

Recently, following a great idea of \u200b\u200bmy dear friend photographer Andrea Ghidini (the main subject you'll see in all the pictures!) we started a photographic collaboration to achieve amazing results, this first round of pictures was more of a test, a "start" in order to understand how to achieve better future portraits and ideas that going on in the mind.
main protagonist of our work is the UV light produced by special lamps, in our case we used a couple, a high-power and medium power, in order to achieve homogeneous illumination changes and the second ally was the beloved yellow highlighter, for the accuracy of ink inside, which made it possible to "enlightenment" of the faces and the emergence of a series of spectacular effects (see step above).

Andrea being drafted!
The trick was part of a truly spectacular, literally face lit up, shining its light, covered with a layer invisible to the naked eye, but he did definitely notice his presence in UV light (see photo below).


All the rest came by itself! Shooting in UV is very exciting and of course like any new thing, the imagination does wander and have fun to "play" and explore the many new situations in our eyes.
Enjoy everyone! HD viewing is strongly recommended!
