Abstract:
Demystifying the elusive art of creating color infrared images, this guide offers in-depth techniques to capture light beyond the visible spectrum with color infrared film. Beginning with the history and facts of color infrared film, including mounting and storage, this book also discusses light and color theory, working with filters, getting desired colors, and technical light solutions. These methods can be used by amateurs and professionals to create stunning portraits, still-life images, and altered landscapes.
