Do I need special camera preparation or elements to shoot under UV light?

Asked by manuel_alarcon (299points) April 19th, 2010

I need to shoot some paintings with UV light, the light will make the paintings brighter, because of the paintings chemical composition. I have a canon SX1 IS but I dont really know if I need some technical advice; extra filters, a special setting, etc.
Maybe some 2nd hand techniques, i dont know, like the yellow plastic filters sometimes used to bring out clouds in bw photos, something like that; or just plain Pro equipment?
