Enpointe I.R.
Photographing people in infrared has been a common practice with film. Using infrared film such as the Kodak HIE, yields a glowing, dreamy effect. Shooting in infrared produces a clean and magical effect on the skin which might be desirable or aesthetically acceptable. This can also be done with today’s digital cameras. Converted infrared cameras allow very short exposures good enough to freeze motion, while the use of infrared filters may emphasize movement in subjects. Furthermore, processing digital infrared images provides a plethora of choices which you can apply on your work. That being said, the simpler the final image, the more powerful they can become.
This image below of a ballerina, who also happens to be a photographer, was taken using a converted IR camera and a wide-angle lens for a different perspective.
