When you need to crank your shots up to 12, sometimes the visible light spectrum just won't cut it. Austrian photographer Markus Berger walks us through an arsenal of tricks for amping up any scene with neon props and ultraviolet light in a new video from the Cooperative of Photography (COOPH). Whether its adding a few simple streaks of makeup or a weaving whole installation made from glow-in-the-dark yarn, Berger shows you how to keep your UV experiments clean and offers interesting ideas for materials to get you started. Once you've mastered the tips in the video, and for more ultraviolet inspiration, check out work by Aowen Jin, Jeongmoon Choi, the Brain Dead art collective, and Alex Markow.
