Infrared Photography

Digital infrared photography, a brand of artistic photography that focuses on creating unique images derived from the near infrared spectrum of radiation that is not visible to humans.

The workshop explains infrared photography from the fundamentals to actual practice, making it possible to begin a wonderful journey with a branch of photography that was once only available to the few.

Details of the workshop:

9 AM – 12 PM: Meet in Lincoln Park Area to learn the fundamentals of infrared and begin to understand compositions for infrared photography

12 PM – 1:30 PM: Lunch on your own.

1:30 PM – 5:00 PM: Processing images for infrared and then printing your images on a selection of Hahnemühle Paper.

Additional information that you will be given:

• Cameras for infrared photography
• Resources and companies for camera conversions, including discounts on conversions.

You need to have completed Photo II and have an understanding of basic Adobe Camera Raw (Lightroom) and Photoshop (layers, masks & filters) or have comparable experience and approval from the instructor.
