Shooting lures as standard images and also as UV glow, isn’t that simple but with all of planning and setup its done quite quickly. Before the setup these lures need a real thorough clean, UV lights reveal event the slightest bit of dust, finger print or oil from skin.
The tricky part to photograph the lures with twin studio lights and at the same time take the next image with UV lights so the lure could be flipped for web display and be in the same position. After a lot of practice, I have  built a set that easily swaps the lights at a touch of a button and  the background from white to black without moving the set. To get the full impact of UV it needs to be shot on a black background. The final setup allows the lure to be shot in unison, standard colour and then UV quickly and easily, its not a quick setup, but it is very efficient.
