Experiments In Infrared Photography

This book contains about 230 pages with more than 220 Infrared images.

For the last five years the author/photographer has been experimenting with digital infrared photography. This book does not contain long drawn out detailed technical explanations on how each image was created. In the beginning there is a brief lesson on channel swapping using the free imaging editing program Photofiltre. After that, a series of the results of having a great deal of fun with an infrared camera.

The author began photography and photo-journalism in early 1963 when he accepted an offer from his local newspaper to write about and photograph sports events at the Arizona high school where he was a junior.

After a stint in the service, he had an opportunity to study photography and printing techniques with Bernard Hoffman, a true gentleman and scholar, and one of the earliest staff photographers for Life Magazine.

Since that time he has had thousands of photographs and hundreds of articles published by more than 60 national and international periodicals. He was also a contributing editor for one of them for more than ten years. Topics ran the gamut from professional sports, medicine, archeology, and photography to science. In addition, the author is represented by more than a dozen agencies and all of these images have appeared in publications around the world.

After twenty years away from Arizona he returned in 1985 and it has been the base from which all his photographic excursions are launched. Along with many others he has embraced digital photography but can still be seen, from time to time, peering through the ground glass of a large format camera or hoisting a large medium format 6x7.

The photographer currently has fine art photography on exhibit at The Center for Fine Arts in Globe, Arizona.
