Glow Booth at the Auckland Arts Festival
Jahmaine & Walter from kids TV show Sticky TV on FOUR experience the Glow Booth
The Glow Booth, where people are photographed illuminated only by the light of glowing bacteria, made an appearance at thinkScience day as part of the 2015 Auckland Arts Festival. A huge thanks to Benj Brooking for help taking the photos. During the 4 hours the booth was open, 205 people came to be photographed. We’ve loaded their portraits on Flickr here.

Wow, some lots of cool photos in there. Looks like one of them even caught a ghost 😛

I notice that pink or orange clothes seem to shine really brightly, like white clothes under a black light. Do you know why that is?
Here are some examples:

Strangely enough, your hair doesn’t seem to glow in the same way under this light.
The brightness varies quite a lot between some photos too. Was that anything to do with the bacteria or just different settings on the camera?
Hi Mark
The shipping container we were using as our photo booth was really hot so the bacteria were getting dimmer and dimmer as the day progressed!
