Color Doesn't Exist: A Practical Guide to Infrared Photography

That is the name of my new infrared photography book! This tome packs everything that I have learned into 25 chapters and over 50,000 words! As the name suggests, this is a practical guide, for all skill levels, that covers every aspect from the foundation, equipment, shooting, and editing. When will it be available? The manuscript is complete. The copy is edited. It is now in layout and design. I'll provide updates as we move through production and get closer to the launch. I can't wait for you to see it!
