Infra red studio portraits – pictures
December 2nd, 2008
Whilst teaching studio lighting last week I couldnt help but take a few frames on my converted Canon 10Dir.
I took this picture in infra red and I lit it with three Broncolor flash heads.
Marko my picture editor, gave this frame a blue tone look too and I love it. Lisa's dark red lipstick seems to have vanished.
This close up clearly shows the tonal dynamics of skin in infra red exposures.
Okay, this is just a quick look but I think the medium might just be perfect for pregnancy and figure photography.

I’m absolutely loving these images in infrared.
It’s not a style you see everyday, but a few of these shots together look quiet stunning. And previous shots of scenary and landscape scenes that you have done are really dreamy and have a real fantasy look to them.
I’m tempted to get on ebay and find and old DSLR to get converted myself.

Damien these images are superb.
) very much in fashion
The immediate thing that struck me was how very similar in pose and style to some pictures I have of my grandmother taken in 1931. I think you are spot on (as always) when you say they would suit figure photography, especially at the moment with retro chic / cherish the dress (TM

Hi Valeri,
Take a look at my posts under the infrared tab at the top of the page. Start with this post near the bottom. You will find a lot of useful information about camera conversion and the other options.
Kindest regards,
Damien.
