The human figure has been one of photography’s enduring subjects since the medium was invented. These photographs explore that tradition through the unusual perspective of near-infrared photography.
Unlike visible light, infrared records the way skin, fabric, and the surrounding environment reflect wavelengths beyond human vision. The result is a subtle transformation rather than a dramatic special effect. Skin takes on an almost luminous quality, familiar tones shift, and the relationship between the figure and the landscape becomes quietly surreal.
Infrared continues to surprise me. Even after years of working with it, each photograph reveals subtle relationships between light, texture, and form that remain invisible in ordinary daylight. These images are part of an ongoing exploration of what lies just beyond the limits of human vision.
