What People Look Like Using an Ultraviolet Camera
Artist and author Thomas Leveritt captured footage of a series of people with an ultraviolet camera. According to Leveritt, “an ultraviolet camera can show not-yet-visible changes” on people’s skin — which means lots of freckles. Leveritt then had subjects put on sunscreen to demonstrate how it protects their skin.
We showed people what they looked like in ultraviolet, & wondered aloud if they wanted to put on some damn sunscreen already.
