🌟 The Winter Studio Week 8: UVIVF Photography – Capturing Fluorescence Under UV Light 🌟

In this week’s episode of The Winter Studio, we’re exploring the fascinating world of UV-Induced Visible Fluorescence photography, also known as UVIVF photography.

Using the Adaptalux two-arm UV kit, I shine 365nm ultraviolet light onto water drops, causing them to fluoresce—emitting visible light in stunning and unexpected colours. This is a technique often used in scientific and forensic photography, but it’s also perfect for creative macro work at home.

📸 In this video, you’ll learn:
• What UVIVF photography is and how it works.
• How to set up a UVIVF scene with simple tools.
• How to use a long exposure to capture vibrant fluorescence.
• Essential safety tips for working with UV light.

This is a fun, creative, and slightly eerie technique that reveals a hidden world of glowing detail all around us.
