Infrared Photo's

Infrared Photography

Infrared photography is a method of of photography that can be used by just about anyone with a camera. IR is old way to explore the new unseen world. The reason it's unseen is because infrared light can't actually be seen by the human eye.  IR falls just short of the visible spectrum which is why we cant see it. Everything reflects IR light but not in a visible way but once seen through a filter or edited in photoshop it makes things like green grass and trees instead showing up white.

My Infrared photos all follow the theme of low shots of nature.

My first photo you see below is a worms eye view of the leafs and grass. It almost gives the perspective of everything being really big, with the infrared it also looks as if the leafs have frost on them.
Before and After


My second picture of the three is of a log that has fallen over top of a ditch. You can see that there is nails in the log and water below these both give a distance perspective of how high up it is and how long the log is.

My last picture is another low shot of the forrest but there is box with graffiti on not only does this add a cool bright effect when infrared it also sets it self apart from the rest of the forrest. This is by far my favourite of the three the graffiti proved to give this photo great perspective.

Erik Johansson Work

Erik Johansson Research

Erik Johansson is a swedish photographer. His ideas consist of taking something that seems to be a picture but is really art on a whole other level of his own. His work starts with something as simple as a regular picture but when modified and edited in photoshop it becomes a piece of art that is beyond imagination and shows things that are impossible. he truly stretches the ideas of art and puts it a digital spin on it. The pictures you see are some of his spectacular work.

Worms eye View


The theme of all five of these pictures are clearly cars. Specifically the one above the one above shows the perspective of distance from the worms eye view.
 This picture shows the a white honda, because the photo is taken from the worms eye view it has the illusion of the white car blending with the sky.
 This picture again of a car from the worms eye view shows a blue jeep. The reason i choose to take a picture of the car is because the blue really radiates from all the grey and dark objects.
 This picture is a worms eye view of this pristine challenger. The reason I choose this car is because of the clean white car.
This last car has a view different perspectives even though it has a clean white look it also has the small imperfections that gives it so much character also the black parking lot glistens because of the small amount of water on it.
