Le Chapeau

[Jim Peterson]

Who sez that infrared only applies to landscapes? IR can do some very nice things in portraits too... e.g.,...

Le Chapeau (Infrared). The beautiful Rhiannon sports her fedora during a session at Red Bench Photo Studio in Jerome, Arizona. Infrared light reveals an otherwise unseen radiance emanating from her skin.

Tech info: Nikon D3200 camera (modified for infrared with 590nm filter), Nikon 18-140mm lens at 140mm, 1/100 sec. at f11, ISO 100.

Beautiful

Interesting - I would not have expected this result.

I thought I recall that IR did some funky things with blood vessels back in the days of IR film but this looks quite nice.

Thanks, @AlanLichty and @Ben Egbert ! Yes, you're correct... Digital IR sometimes does funky things with blood vessels just under the skin too. But the difference is that it's a lot easier to retouch away those effects in the digital universe (and you don't always see them, either - seems to depend on the individual's coloring and possibly other traits).

Nice work all round, very unusual.

Well done! Usually I've found that most IR of people (unless the right context) just look off .

This walks the line between standard and surreal nicely.

This is super cool Jim! I just hadn't really thought of IR for portraits until I saw Amy's post and now yours. Very interesting indeed.
