Let me start by saying I am an infraredaholic! I know that word doesn’t exist but it’s the closest I have come to summing up my addiction. I was first introduced to this ethereal format in 2010, when I donated my Canon EOS 5D for a free conversion in exchange for a magazine review. After receiving it, I don’t think I took another colour shot for four months. So, here I am 14 years later as an advocative disciple of the church of infrared to encourage you to do the same.

Infrared produces beautiful artistic pictures from average light
