with Jonathan Vaines – 2nd & 9th July 2025 – 3pm until 4.30pm
Infrared
This class covers various techniques for the interesting genre of infrared (IR) photography.
IR images can show the world to be very different from that of reality. Different surfaces reflect visible light and IR light produces some amazing results. Trees and people are interesting subjects for those people that use IR in the photography.
We will cover the techniques needed to produce high-quality images along with some lesser used methods such as working with inversions and split tones. We will also cover how to make a custom profile for your camera to ensure that you get maximum capacity within the raw converter.
This online class is limited to 30 students to allow plenty of time for questions and personal help from Jonathan
