If you're looking for a way you can add a creative twist to portraits, how about shooting some under UV? 

This is exactly what photographer Markus Berger has done in his recent tutorial for COOPH where he talks through the kit you need to capture portraits under blacklight. You'll see in the video the full list of gear that's needed but the list includes: 

  •  UV make-up
  • UV wool
  • UV liquid to use with bubbles
  • A chemical called fluorescein which glows under UV light
  • UV holi powder
  • UV heads or UV lamp 

You can see some of Markus' UV captures below and if you've not quite got your fill of UV, check out these other features from ePz: How To Photographically Remix Reality With UV Black LightsEye-Catching Experimental Photo Portraits With UV Light.
