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

My new book, Color Doesn't Exist: A Practical Guide to Infrared Photography is now available! Infrared photography is bold, surreal, and otherworldly. Unlike standard photography, it captures light not visible to the human eye. While commonly used with landscape photography, infrared can be paired with any genre of photography for stunning results. This practical guide will open up the world of infrared photography for you. Shooting infrared presents challenges, even for experienced photographers. This volume focuses on learning and will propel you past the typical stumbling blocks so you can explore your creativity. Get more details about this book at colordoesntexist.com.
