Thatcher – Hi. Thanks for the comment. I’m glad that you enjoyed the photographs. My biggest tip for shooting a black light party is having a camera with high ISO capabilities. I took most of the photographs at an ISO setting of 2400 and wish I could of went higher at the time (I since upgraded my camera so I can now). That along with plenty of experimentation while taking the photographs….such as bracketing your exposure settings. Obviously using a flash is out of the question as it kills the black light effect, so it is really dependent on getting the proper amount of light into the camera while still allowing the shutter to move quickly so the subjects are not blurred (unless that is the effect you are seeking). I hope this helps. I wish you the best of luck!

NICE! Those came out rad bro! One of my buddies throws a halloween party each year and this will be my second time shooting it. I wanted to do something different than last year. I just suggested the blacklight party idea. So, as I will be shooting it, what tips would you recommend? Too bad there isn’t a blacklight strobe…or is there?
Thanks!
