Living Light

In Hunter Cole's Bioluminescent Nudes series women are posed for photographs by the light of bioluminescent bacteria. Lilies are drawn on Petri dishes with bioluminescent bacteria. White lilies symbolize chastity and virtue. Lilies also symbolize that the soul of the departed has received restored innocence after death. With nudity there is innocence and the ability to attract a mate. One of the functions of bioluminescence in nature is to attract a mate. This series in a part of Living Light: Photographs by the Light of Bioluminescent Bacteria.
