Princeton Photo Workshop: Capturing Invisible Light: Infrared Workshop with Don Komarechka

Saturday September 22, 2018
10:00 AM - 5:00 PM

20 Library Place, Princeton NJ

Infrared photography allows traditional landscape photographers to re-invent their compositions with surreal qualities. Glowing foliage, deep skies, and a certain other-worldly quality can transform an ordinary scene into a portfolio-worthy image. This workshop will teach you everything you need to know about camera settings, subject and composition for infrared photography, along with the necessary post-processing workflow required to get stunning "false color" images at the end of this journey. Experimentation is encouraged, as there are many unknowns to explore. It's not just a different way to process an image, it's an entirely different way to see the world around us.
