ABOUT INFRARED/ARTIST STATEMENT. I LOVE Infrared (IR) photography because it provides me another creative outlet. IR images possess a unique look and feel and offer me the ability to produce quality photographs in the middle of the day. I have chosen the 720 nanometer (720 nm) spectrum for my IR images (though there also are other choices). My 720 nm converted camera produces three unique looks (there are even more possibilities with different processing options). The most popular is black and white with white foliage, dark skies and fantastic tonality in bright sunshine. Landscape and travel photos resonate spectacularly with this effect. 720 nm IR portraits and people photos feature dreamy "alabaster" skin and haunting eyes. IR portraits are not for every subject but can be truly amazing. How I process an image depends on the subject, lighting, and what the processing brings to the photo. Other processing options exist and are being explored every day. Most of my IR photos are shared as black and white images. Color photographers are always looking for the best light in the golden hours of the early morning and late afternoon for the best photos. Traditional black and white photographers are drawn to the quiet light before sunrise and after sunset and soft light during the day. Mid-day sun is too harsh and a great challenge for traditional photographers because of the bright highlights and deep shadows. IR photographers relish the noon-day sun and the opportunities it presents: sun and shadows, plant life and sky and intense tones. As a photographer who loves the opportunity to shoot all day I appreciate the opportunities that IR provides, seeing and capturing what a "normal" camera struggles to record. Once I'm back to the computer with my RAW IR files, the next level of creativity begins. IR photos can be processed as deep and rich black and white images, images with a warm sepia color effect or ones with an alternative false color effect. ANAHEIM - PROGRAMS AT THE PACKING HOUSE.
