I Photographed The Invisible Light That Plants Emit

I Photographed The Invisible Light That Plants Emit

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.

The Pigeons Who Took Photos

The Pigeons Who Took Photos
At the turn of the last century, when aviation was still in its infancy, a German named Julius Neubronner submitted a patent for a new invention—a miniature camera that could be strapped to the breast of a pigeon so that the bird could take flight and snap pictures from the air.
Julius Neubronner was an apothecary who employed pigeons to deliver medications to a sanatorium located near his hometown Kronberg, near Frankfurt. An apothecary is one who makes medicines. A pharmacist is a more modern word, but in many German speaking countries, such as Germany, Austria and Switzerland, pharmacies are still called apothecaries.

Ocean Wave Photography

Ocean Wave Photography

There is nothing more joyful for a photography aficionado to be behind the lens looking at the world from a different perspective and clicking away to create images that are eternal. The fact is that many artists who paint or sculpt may see photography as a not so serious art, but it still requires a lot of skill and talent to be able to visualize how a shot should look and getting it to come out like that. There is definitely more to photography than just pointing and clicking. It goes without saying that the end results will not only depend on the skill of the photographer but also the subject that is being clicked. Take for instance, ocean wave photography – it offers so many photo opportunities that a lifetime may not be enough to click all the pictures you want to. As you may be aware, each type of photography has its own charms and even specific techniques and it all comes down to what moves you when it comes to the kind of things that you like to capture in your lens. For some it may be the thrill of dazzling and delightful double exposure photography while for others it could be something more like refreshing, fascinating and pretty fish photography.
