Using Black Lights for Portraits

August 23, 2022

I think most people have a fascination of the effects of black lights, being exposed to their color twisting effects in places like bowling alleys, laser tag, and arcades. Like most people, I found it interesting how certain colors would just pop and seemingly glow.
