Infrared photography photography picks up on infrared waves that are outside of the normal visible spectrum. While far-infrared photography is used to display the heat emanating from objects, near-infrared photography creates haunting photographs with distorted colors. The resulting images are familiar, but eerie because of their unusually rearranged colors. The incredible infrared photographs of Dannie Tjahjono take ordinary landscape and still-life images and transform them into magical visions of otherwordly colors and unexpected shapes. Landscape pictures in the full summer sun suddenly look like winter vistas covered in snow. Cacti and garden statues look like the remnants from a post-apocalyptic society.
Infrared photography has a long history as a method of more accurately depicting landscape from an aerial perspective. Though most aerial IR photographs are far-infrared (thermal imaging) pictures, some photographers use the near-infrared part of the light spectrum for stunning aerial photos. The photography of Italian artist Christian Gufler combines two perspective-bending methods – IR and aerial – to create soft and tranquil images of European countryside and buildings.
