THE BLACK AND WHITE PHOTOGRAPHY SERIES: INFRARED PHOTOGRAPHY


BLACK AND WHITE INFRARED PHOTOGRAPHY

Infrared photographs have a very special look and feel. By rendering skies black, foliage and stone white, these images possess strong contrast, pronounced grain and a distinct dreamy appearance that puts them in a category of their own.
Back in the day we used the legendary Kodak High-Speed Infrared Film / HIE which is now discontinued. It was notoriously fussy to work with (especially while on the road) and it was difficult to lay one's hands on a steady supply. The results, below, made it all worthwhile.
This tradition of infrared photography is now carried on with modified DSLR cameras.
