One of the genres I have been exploring is infrared photography which enables me to show familiar subject material in a totally different way. The infrared part of the light spectrum is not visible to the human eye (it lies beyond the colour red) and so the colours we assign to it in post-processing are a purely subjective mapping back onto the visible spectrum. In that sense, the colours are not ‘unnatural’, but an interpretation. This offers enormous scope for processing the photographs to create images that are visually pleasing, emphasising areas of focus with different colours.
