Whis is EPIC

How do you do it?
What is the Technick to shoot with Blacklight?

The contacts were awesome!

I'll catch you all on the flip side. (In hell)

Those contacts rock my proverbial socks right off. One thing that really bothers me about run-of-the-mill blacklight photography in non-hybrid lighting is the blank, dull space where the model's eyes are. Eyes are, in my opinion, the most expressive part of a face, and when they're blank in an image full of dynamic color, the effect is something of an artistic buzzkill. The addition of blacklight effects to Emobi's eyes really sets this image apart from standard blacklight photography. Job brilliantly done, Adam.

Pretty much from here on out, contacts are a vital part of every UV shoot. Just one more of those "why the hell haven't we been doing this all along" things, made crystal clear in the shots with Emobi.

Agreed. The dull, fuzzy, blank look in the eyes has always been something that bugged me in black light shots. You can't paint the eyes, and there's really no photographic technique that can fix the lack-lustre.

Contacts. So simple.

Stunning!

When it comes to perfecting techniques and such, often-times simple, obvious solutions are easily overlooked. Why the hell haven't we been doing this all along, indeed.

It isn't that you can't paint the eyes. Technically, you can do whatever you want, but I think if you added that to the list of tortures you put your models though, there'd be a mass revolt and you'd end up bound to that metal frame in your studio with barbed wire, covered in makeup and wearing a pink tutu while being set on fire, electroshocked, drenched with water, and having your sinuses irrigated with Magnum beer. Contacts are much better all-around, for everyone involved.

I'm seeing an image in my head now with UV lilac-purple contacts, and it's delicious. Soooooo many possibilities for the exploring and exploiting.

Conundra...

First possible answer is, he's just waiting for the day when someone will finally get up the nerve to do all those bad bad things to him that he so shamefully wishes for.

Second possible answer is...

Hm. Brain getting stuck on first possible answer. I mean, wait. You know you have to get through me to get to Adam, right??
