It happens to me every year on Halloween. I lock my self in a Padded room, I can not go in public like this...
How2. 100 bulb UV flash light and my face hair not trimmed for a month then wetted with Tonic water. That blue glow comes from quinine, the substance that gives tonic water its bitter taste, and blue glow when shining with UV by the process of fluorescence. An acute up angle of light exaggerates the shadows of my face. A bit of plugin manipulation accents colors and facial lines.
Once that was done I sat down to my favorite hot meal.
Wow! what preparation for your photo shoot! Excellent work, probably one that I couldn't duplicate in a million years!

Could you not have used a blue filter and saved the tonic water for gin?

Attending a singles group at a local bar decades ago, when I ordered gin and tonic the knowing waitress would bring me only tonic water... remaining sober in a group was more fun than being goofy with too much gin in my blood.
Using UV illumination for night photography opens a new world... so many things fluoresce in UV light.

Very creative image. I like it. Thanks for providing the behind the scene How to.
Very creative. I just can't fathom myself using those elements in a composite. My mind just doesn't go creatively there. Congrats, nicely visualized and completed.
My facial hair looks like that permanently! I think you look fine Don.

I first grew my facial hair as management working 12 hr shifts to keep the plant running while the workers were on strike. In the early 70's for a manager to facial hair was a no-no. I was hidden when one of the Firestone boys came to the plant, but out of technical necessity I had to go into the meeting to give my expert opinion. After the meeting Leonard Firestone shook my hand complimenting my work, saying "you look like a professor, I like the trimmed beard." After than the local management never complained... not that it would have done them any good.
For one job dealing with hazardous chemicals for safety the beard was shaved...Burrr, my face was cold with the fur gone. So! I have had facial hair for 50 years.

Now that Halloween is over, how do you feel? With a sense of humor this type of experiment can and will do wonders ... for some. Love it.

Me too, grew it at 18 and now 79. Style changed a few times but never removed. Visited your country in ‘73. It was the first time anyone mentioned the beard - dining at a potential suppliers home, his wife asked why the beard was curly but the head hair straight! How rude, I thought. Really she was just bemused. Nobody in the UK bothered about it, everyone accepted I was some sort of besuited hippy!
