From
Bored Panda:
I've photographed hundreds of glowing
flowers since 2014 after seeing Oleksandr Holovachov's work with
ultraviolet-induced visible fluorescence (UVIVF) photography. Each
time I do a set of UVIVF photos, it starts with going out under the
cover of darkness to snatch unsuspecting flowers growing around the
neighborhood. I rarely know what to expect from a flower before I get it
back to shoot. Some I think will dazzle end up flopping, and others I
am surprised by their colors or light. Every one is a surprise!
In
the same way a tee-shirt blue glows under a black light, most organic
material glows at least a little with UV stimulation and in all kinds of
colors. To make the most of it, I make sure I'm working in the darkest
environment I can and use a 365nm light so the camera can't see the UV
light. Any time the flowers are hit
by sunlight, they're letting off their own glow in response and it's
simply overwhelmed by the sunlight we can see. These photos capture
something we always see, but never can observe. (Read more.)
Fascinating ! A whole new world.
