ULTRA VANITY

ROBIN NOORDA  AND MARGOT VAN DE STOLPE collaborate in the project Ultra Vanity and use this technique in a series of photographs as part of the Photosynthesis traveling exhibition collection.
The project Ultra Vanity focusses on plants, flowers, food, naturalia and taxidermy objects composed and captured in a special kind of photography: Ultraviolet Induced Visible Fluorescence photography (UVIVF) mixed with a little normal light. Some objects fluorescent, often in very low light conditions. E.g. the stamens of flowers light up in UV as they have to be visible for insects that see in UV.
Robin Noorda and Margot van de Stolpe collaborate in this project and use this technique in a series of photographs called Ultra Vanity as part of the Photosynthesis traveling exhibition collection.
In 2018 Ultra Vanity works will be exhibited at the 'Grachten Galerie' in Utrecht and at Masterly The Hague, 20-23 September.

​

​Tech specs:  The results are composed of stacked layers of long exposures, up to minutes. Noorda used a Nichia MTE 303 365nm LED torch that he bought in Hong Kong and modified with a Hoya U-340 UV bandpass filter he found in the USA, he also modified a Canon flashlight, removing its UV filter and adding an Hoya U-340 + Schott S8612 UV-bandpass​ filter. The camera used is a Nikon D810 and the lenses have an Hoya UV and IR cut filter. The lenses used are a 24mm PC Nikkor, a 70-180mm Nikkor macro, a Nikkor 105mm DC and a Laowa 15mm macro. Total costs for the filters and torch only: some € 700.


​Warning, if you are planning to work with UVIVF as well, always do use yellow UV blocking safety glasses when working with UV! If not, you can blind yourself and can cause eye cancer. Also, never take UVIVF photographs of humans and animals that possibly can look directly into the UV light source.
