The diploma thesis entitled Portrait Photography with UV-light Effects deals with a portrait photoshoot under a UV-light.
The purpose of the diploma thesis was to use the knowledge acquired during the research of the theoretical work in carrying out the experimental work. The aim of the diploma thesis was to examine portrait photography, to check which camera settings best fit when photographing under UV-light and to learn about fluorescent colours.
The theorethical part contains a brief overview of portrait photography, special features that apply to its production, a description of UV-light and fluorescent colours.
The experimental part represents a set of ten portraits with UV-light effect photographed with a mirror-reflex camera. Photographs show models that have different fluorescent body colours applied on their body and are illuminated mostly with UV-light only. They were taken in the studio and were afterwards photoshoped to adjust the colours. Each photograph was evaluated by visual analysis, which allows different observations and evaluations of the photographs; each of the photographs was also described with the technical characteristics.
By implementing the theoretical part in the experimental it was found that the basic rules of photography remain the same in all photographs, but the final result was influenced primarily by the vision of the author and his preferences.
