The beauty of photography is that it's an extension of the human eye, allowing you to see what's beyond your sight, even the invisible. This is especially true of infrared photography, which captures wavelengths of light invisible to the naked eye and shows you an otherwise inaccessible world. With this technique, you can explore familiar places through a new lens as if they were uncharted territory.
Join photographer Paolo Pettigiani, whose photos have been featured in magazines like Wired and The Washington Post and who has worked with brands like Adobe and Pantone, and learn how to capture surreal images with infrared photography. Paolo teaches you key composition techniques and guides you through the process of shooting and editing a series of strikingly colorful images. Get ready to explore the magical world of the invisible.
Description
Begin the course by getting to know Paolo Pettigiani, your teacher and personal guide through this invisible universe. He tells you about his artistic career and the influences that have changed the way he views the world.
Next, get a better understanding of what infrared light is and the origin of this photography technique. Look at different ways to capture the invisible with digital photography and see the two most commonly used methods for taking these shots: using a lens filter or modifying the camera itself.
Paolo then goes over the equipment you need for the final project and gives you tips on choosing the right gear.
Study the light conditions that best favor this kind of photography and learn key composition techniques to take incredible infrared photos. Now it's time for your shoot! Adjust your camera to the ideal settings, experiment with composition, and start taking photos.
Once you've finished, learn how to edit your photos in both Lightroom and Photoshop to get high-quality final images.
To round out the course, Paolo shares his favorite post-production tricks and shows you a more creative and free-form approach to editing your infrared photos to produce mind-bending images with even more surreal colors.
