Black Light Strobs?

[ChrisAdval]

Is there any or possible? Has it ever been done?

I'm doing a project with black light paint and I know I could just use a slow shutter but it will be on a person so... I don't any blur, so slow shutter won't really work out too well.

Hey Chris, I realize you posted this like a month ago, but was wondering if you found a solution to using the strobes? I have been asked to do a series of photos for a local night club, but they want the shoot done in the club and I am told that they have strobes, black lighting, etc..

I have never done anything like this and am a little concerned that the pics aren't going to come out very well. Will the slow shutter help to avoid an problems with the flashing lights?

Thanks for the help,

I asked my professors about this and they recommended continuous black lights just very powerful like 1000w to avoid the need of shooting a slow shutter. If I knew how to engineer (DIY) a black light strob I would but I don't know anything about engineering anything just the concept part I'm pretty good at.

As for your situation I would shoot it in higher ISOs, but for my situation in a studio setting I would aviod the use of a higher ISO with the more control I have in lighting and setting up the shot and if I need or want super clean photos unless I may or may not have a choice of using high ISO, unless somehow I learn or find out how to build a DIY black light strob, or even filter to put onto my strob that has the same affects from black lights.
