Radiant Colors and Vibrant Beauty: The Photographer's Quest to Capture the Hidden Splendor of Nature Through His Luminous Flower Photographs
Hypnotized by the Splendor of Nature, California Photographer Craig Burrows Captures a Series of "Luminous Flora" Photographs That Captivate at First Sight
The Artwork Captures the Fluorescence Visible Through the Camera When Ultraviolet (UV) Light Hits the Flowers. That is, When the Camera is Set at a Certain Speed, it Will Capture Images of Flowers that Seem to Shine if the Ultraviolet Light Hits Them.
With Bright and Vibrant Colors, Photographer Craig Burrows Aims to Convey the Beauty Beyond the Natural World Through His Resplendent Flower Photographs.
Unlike Traditional Photographs, Craig's Works are Illuminated with 365nm LED Light (near UV light, peak of 365nm) when Taken. Craig Uses a 365nm LED that Shines Through a Filter so that the Lamp Only Emits Ultraviolet and Infrared Rays.
The Flowers Absorb this Light and Reflect it Back as Visible Light in Various Wavelengths. Thanks to This, Craig Was Able to Capture Images with a Variety of Colors and an Unusual Appearance to the Naked Eye.
If One Does Not Know in Advance, Many People Would Not Guess that it is a Flower.
In Addition to his Love for Photographing Plants that Shine Due to Violet Rays, the Photographer also has a Passion for Macro Insects, Spiders, and Bugs in the Sunlight.
Regardless of the Shooting Style, Photographer Burrows Wants to Show that Nature is Not Only External Beauty, but also Internal Beauty.
