Ultraviolet photography and video
When innovation leads to prevention
Various fields of application in cosmetics and dermatology
Over the last years, ultraviolet photography has left laboratories working on health and dermatology research to become part of projects led by the biggest cosmetic and beauty brands of the World.
By following the path of UV-A rays to the dermis, UV photography reveals spots and wrinkles caused by photoaging. This inovative technique is perfectly suited to promoting cosmetic products, to carrying out sun prevention campaigns and skin cancer awareness workshops.
1. Raise awareness of sun risks and skin cancer
By imaging the skin’s condition directly at the dermis and epidermis levels, UV photography reveals the skin’s current photoaging, even if it is not yet visible to the naked eye. This is a significant first step toward preventing skin cancer.
2. Analyze the areas of the skin most affected by the sun
UV photography allows skin mapping by analyzing the areas most affected by photoaging: mouth, nose, ears, top of the head, etc.
3. Demonstrate the effectiveness of UV-A filters in cosmetic products
UV imaging visually reveals the presence of UV-A absorbing filters. Whether organic or mineral, these UV-A filters will remain visible even once absorbed by the skin: their properties can therefore be easily studied and demonstrated to the general public.
4. Compare different sunscreen formulas
In both UV photography and video, the opacity intensity of an organic sunscreen is proportional to the protection it offers against UV-A rays. If two sunscreens use different UV-A filters, the more effective one will appear darker: a practical solution for visually assessing the performance of UV-A filters.
5. Evaluate the durability of UV-A filters over time
UV photography allows us to track the changes in the durability and stress of sunscreens over time. Indeed, once applied to the skin and absorbed, some sunscreens can diffuse over time on the surface and deeper into the skin.
6. Communicate and promote your brand to your clients
UV photography and video are impactful and educational visual tools for demonstrating the effectiveness of cosmetic brands to the general public and professionals in just a few seconds.
Given the various impacts of UV rays on the skin, and especially their delayed onset, UV photography appears to be a perfectly adapted awareness tool for sun protection and dermatological innovation:
- A dermatological awareness and prevention tool.
- A technique that reveals the effectiveness of sunscreens.
- A visual and educational marketing communication strategy.
My ultraviolet photo and video services
Original and impactful content for your communication
Whether you’re boosting your social media, promoting the launch of a new sunscreen product line, or creating a commercial, using UV video ensures you have original and impactful content for your customers.
I work on a variety of projects and adapt to your work environment by integrating directly into your teams.
UV shootings and workshops for professionals and general public
I offer workshops on dermatological prevention under UV-A rays at trade shows, events, and corporate wellness days. I use a fully equipped studio where everyone can be filmed and photographed safely under UV light.
These workshops educate participants on the best practices to adopt to protect their skin and prevent the development of skin cancer, while also providing a space for direct communication with you.
A technique suitable for the analysis of materials and polymers
Beyond its application in dermatology, UV photography allows for the study of the anti-UV properties of materials and polymers, as well as their durability over time, in a non-invasive, direct, and reproducible manner.
Materials that absorb UV rays will thus become opaque, such as the glazing of the Louvre pyramid and its anti-UV surface treatment.
