About
I discovered a playful technique in infrared photography. The ability to naturally modify the colors and contrast of a scene, right on location, is fascinating. The surrounding landscape transformed into a canvas of possibilities, a true playground. Blue, orange, red, cyan, yellow… an entire spectrum of tones became accessible, leaving the interpretation of the scene in my hands.
“PLAYGROUND” perfectly embodies this process of color selection. From blue tones to muted orange, you have the power to adjust the colors of the landscape and make it your own. This interactive artwork blurs the boundaries between the artist and the viewer.
Here’s a glimpse into the process: the image you see is a horizontal panorama, stitched together from five vertical shots. The 590nm filter provided a base of vibrant colors. Initially, the sky appeared orange, while organic elements, like trees and grass, took on blue hues. One of the first common adjustments in infrared image editing involves swapping the blue and red channels, thus inverting the blue and orange tones.
This step allowed me to create an image with interchangeable elements between orange and blue. Then, I assembled a puzzle with the five segments I wanted to make editable. A bit of coding later, and the project came to life!
I hope “PLAYGROUND” brings you as much joy as I find in the art of infrared photography!
