Infra-red
Explore the unseen world with our captivating infrared photography. Infra-red light, beyond the red spectrum, unveils a hidden dimension of beauty and intrigue. Our photographer, Peter, has mastered the art of understanding how infra-red light interacts with the environment, reminiscent of the days when images couldn’t be immediately viewed in film photography.
“It is like going back to the old film days when it wasn’t possible to see your image by looking at the back of the camera directly after taking the image. The magic happens in the post production”
Peter Longland
The magic unfolds during post-production, where the true essence of the image emerges. Using false colour infra-red, we associate colours with heat levels, creating stunning visuals that captivate and inspire. Immerse yourself in the captivating and beautiful imagery of infra-red photography.
