Infrared Photography: Digital Techniques

for Artistic Images, 2nd Ed.

 By Laurie Klein, Shelley Vandegrift,

and Kyle Klein | Review by Peter Bauer

This book will walk you through the process of capturing images in the infrared

spectrum, from selecting a filter and/or converting a camera to infrared, through the

settings that differ from those with which you’re used to shooting, to the character-

istics of various subjects, and even how those characteristics vary with the seasons.

You can get started with infrared photography by purchasing a special filter or you

can have one of your cameras converted to full-time, infrared use. You’ll learn the

importance of the histogram, why you should capture in RAW rather than JPEG, and

the difference between lens flare and hot spots. The authors then explore and explain

infrared consideration for various landscape and nature subjects, as well as consid-

erations specific to infrared and people (including makeup and tattoos). A section

on capture and composition includes subjects such as bracketing and perspective.

Postproduction and workflow are also covered. n
