Photographs Of Plants Or Flowers,

taken against a black background always look impressive,

 even more so when they are illuminated by black light,

 and the photographs are taken by artist Craig Burrows, whose blacklight photographs of plants we have featured before,

 the process, known as ultraviolet-induced visible fluorescence photography, involves projecting electromagnetic radiation on to the flower, and then capturing the visible light briefly emitted by the plant,

 to create his seemingly magical—but actually all-natural—photographs, Burrows first collects local flowers from his lush Southern California neighborhood, or purchases specific species he’s interested in experimenting with,

 He works with them in an extremely dark environment, to prevent any competing light from dulling the flowers’ glow, and places each stem in a stand that’s covered in light-absorbing matte black electrical tape,

 the photographer, who credits Swedish artist Oleksandr Holovachov with his own inspiration for UVIVF, has been working in this mode for just four years, and has taught himself the intricate process,

 His work has paid off, with a recent feature in National Geographic, for the photographs for this article he used the HP ZBook x2, which seems to be gaining quite a few favorable reviews,

You can purchase prints of Burrows’ fluorescent flowers on his website, and follow him on Flickr and Instagram, where he shares interesting floral facts alongside his photography, also for more information on the HP ZBook x2 have a look here.
