Since as far back as the 1960’s artists have experimented with analog infrared photography, and those of us who are old enough might remember seeing the technique used on the album covers of Jimi Hendrix and Frank Zappa. Now, as we enter the digital age, new equipment and technology has opened up the exciting world of infrared photography to all.
This compact guide to infrared photography shows the beauty of infrared imagery while it teaches how to shoot these images with your digital camera. The book provides the basic theoretical background, information on cameras, filters and equipment, and lots of guidance on how to do infrared photography from image capture to post-processing.
This beautifully designed and illustrated book is the perfect companion for the aspiring photographer who seeks to explore new photographic territories.
