Scott’s presentation can be viewed Here: Black-Light Photography Workshop (Username and Password required.)
On Tuesday, February 10th, Scott Musson will share his extensive experience with Black Light/Ultraviolet photography. The evening will consist of a lecture describing the techniques and the tools required, followed by a demonstration of one technique Scott uses in shooting Black Light Photography and an opportunity for you to try this technique with several setups.
The lecture will also describe several techniques that Scott has used to create award-winning photographs using Black Lights and ordinary items like a Slinky. Black Lights make fluorescent colors “glow” and create unusual effects that help you to look at things in a whole new way.
Black Light photography is particularly well suited to macro and abstract photography, so this is an opportunity to try something new and different with your camera. Bring your camera, tripod, and a lens that allows close focus, such as a macro lens. If you don’t have macro, just bring what you have.
This session will include a demonstration of a new setup using compact fluorescent lamps and a few new props. So even if you’ve seen this presentation before, there will be something new!
We look forward to a fun and educational evening that we hope will inspire you to try this unique lighting technique on your own.

Scott Musson is a photographer, glass artist, lecturer and frequently critiques speak, and judges at photography organizations and clubs in the Northern Virginia and Washington DC metropolitan area. A Photographer of the Year for the Northern Virginia Photographic Society (NVPS), Scott has published a photo calendar with his wife, Emi for the past twelve years.
“Photography is a natural extension of my love for travel”, says Scott. “While I’ve taken pictures all my life, it wasn’t until I was older and could afford to travel that my passion for photography truly developed. I love the whole process of photography: planning a shoot, getting up early to catch the light, processing the images (nowadays digitally), and printing and matting.”
Scott has a passion for photography in and around water. He has been capturing images while snorkeling for a number of years. “I would snorkel every day if I could,” Scott says and tries to make several excursions a year to the tropics to enjoy this aspect of photography. Additionally, Scott enjoys architectural, glass, and blacklight photography.
Scott and his wife Emi have had a number of photographs used in the sets of major motion pictures. Scott’s photo “Lightning Steve” was a prominent backdrop in the motion picture “Wonderful World” starring Matthew Broderick.
Scott is a past president of NVPS and served on its board for several years. He has received the NVPS “Versatile Photographer of the Year” award and the “Advanced Photographer of the Year” award for Prints and Digital Projected Images.

“Every day we walk by the beauty and wonder in this world, but often we fail to recognize it. My love of photography has brought me a new vision and a new appreciation for the common, ordinary, and familiar objects in our world. As we commute to work or go about our daily business we only need to use the lens of our imagination and appreciation of light to see the beauty in the world.
Learning to see is a journey, not a destination.
Each day we can expand our vision by opening our mind and looking at our world in new and interesting ways.”
