Accomplished infrared photographer Laurie White provides a comprehensive understanding of visible and invisible light and the techniques that will lead to success in taking infrared photographs. White discusses what equipment is needed for the best photographs, which filters to use, as well as how to focus, select appropriate subjects, recognize suitable light sources, as well as choosing the right ASA/ISO rating. She also addresses the many variables that affect infrared film and the final image, giving solid and informed basis for any infrared artistic ventures. Among the other areas of discussion are: color temperature, choosing filters, the varieties of infrared film, exposure guidelines, shooting different subjects, and composition design.
