Instructor: Jennifer McGlinchey Sexton
Learn the ins and outs of UV-visible fluorescence photography for collections. Participants of this workshop will gain an understanding of capturing UV-visible fluorescence images for use in conservation, including common applications, safety, and variables specific to UV techniques. Content will cover practical tools such as lamps, filters, background materials, and standardization targets, to aid in the evaluation and maintenance of equipment. Participants will be guided and encouraged to practice consistent workflows, capture, and evaluation of images.
Pre-recorded lectures will be released weekly. Lectures will be supplemented with assignments and weekly live office hours. It is recommended that participants have access to a documentation studio to practice the imaging techniques, but this is not required. Equipment and supply lists will be provided for those wishing to purchase new equipment. Participants should expect to send about 1.5 hours per week on this course.
This course is for conservation professionals, students, collections managers, photographers, or anyone looking for more in-depth information on using this technique. The live sessions for the course will take place in Zoom and automated captions will be available. All live sessions will be recorded and accessible to participants shortly after the session is complete.
