Plants glow, but it takes ultraviolet-induced visible fluorescence photography to capture all of the light. See more of these vibrant flowers here: 📸: Craig Burrows
Craig Burrows' photos look like something plucked from an alien planet, sprouting wild shades of violet, pink and green. But the plants, and the colors are real.
It's the result of a cool trick of nature. All plants reflect light. Leaves reflect green, and flowers reflect red, or yellow, or whatever. But plants also fluoresce, which means when they absorb ultraviolet light, they emit longer wavelengths visible to the human eye. It's the same thing that happens with a black-light poster.
Burrows gathers his specimens during evening strolls through his neighborhood in the Los Angeles suburb of Arcadia. He returns home with his bouquet, turns on pensive music to spur his creativity, and covers his desk with a black cloth. He arranges each flower in a copper stand wrapped in black tape, mounts his Sony A77 on a tripod, and sets it up a few feet away. Then it's lights out.
Then comes long hours with Photoshop, adjusting white balance, contrast, noise and sharpness, and removing dust. It's tedious, but it yields big dividends. The plants truly glow, each leaf, petal and stem blooming in otherworldly colors.
