Two shots of Michaela at two different UV wavelengths. The first is in 360nm UV - note that the skin is duller in tone and a little lighter. The sheen prevalent of shorter wavelengths is nearly absent and the skin is even toned. The ink is barely visible. This is the wavelength most UV is shot at. The second image is shot in 330nm UV which is the short end of UVA. A sheen on the skin is clearly visible and the ink is more visible. The only difference between the two images is the bandpass filter - camera, strobes, etc. were kept the same.
Indeed a mysterious new visual world and what a difference a few nano-meters make. You are a UHH pioneer.
In this world of COVID-2 virus, we feel more comfortable flashing women with UV before hugging them.
This is really cool and unique to me. I'd like to see some with and without filter comparisons. I would also want to try colorizing these too. On a side note, I could also have fun with this technique in the "Black Like Me" movement showing that underneath we are all African, the cradle of civilization.
I’m afraid the UV is lost on me. I’d be interested to see how this model looks in a standard color or monochrome image.

Taken between using the 360nm and 330nm filters. Lights camera all the same.
Wow. Quite a different look! Thank you.

It's almost hard to believe it is the same model.
Perhaps this is the solution for getting rid of tattoos that one is tired of... change all of your light bulbs to UV.
Very interesting technique.
