• Dazzling photos of flowers, lit by ultraviolet

28-year-old photographer Craig Burrows photographing plants and flowers using the technique called UVIVF, or "induced by ultraviolet radiation visible fluorescence." The process is still relatively unknown. It allows to distinguish fluorescence in plants through the use of high intensity UV light.

Typically, the camera lens blocks ultraviolet radiation. However, Burrows photographs taken with an LED light having a 365nm wavelength, which passes through the filter to pass ultraviolet and infrared light.

The plants absorb UV light and emit visible radiation at different wavelengths, so the photographer removes the color more vivid than those that can be observed under normal conditions.

Burrows photographed while individual plants and flowers, but in the future plans to make such shots with whole gardens, lawns and greenhouses using a 100-watt spotlights.
