Digital Infrared Photography Workshops are the BEST way to learn!


Digital Infrared Photography Workshops are a great way to learn about this fabulously strange photographic technique for making surreal photos. But to gain the creative mastery you really need to create award winning digital infrared images, you need to get very hands-on! Try the shots, play with exposures and be privy to the secrets of award winning photographers.

In response to your numerous requests, our new 2 day Digital Infrared Workshop/Bootcamp will give you not only a deep understanding of the techniques, but a complete tool-kit of methods, tips, trouble shooting tactics, and individual recipes for the most requested infrared styles and effects.

While landscapes are often the most satisfying subjects for infrared photography, it is also dynamite for portraits, nudes and human-based abstracts. If you’re a portrait or wedding photographer and want to vapourize your competition, you’ve got to see how seductive invisible skin can be!

You can make digital infrared images just like this by attending our digital infrared photo workshop.

Is this workshop for me?

While this is a Pro/Advanced amateur level workshop, you’ll get the most from this experience if you have some basic camera and computer skills. You MUST be knowledgeable using your camera and understand concepts such as white balance, and bracketing, and be able to set them in your camera. You must know how to set your aperture to achieve certain effects.

In the lab, you should be familiar with Photoshop 7 or above (CS4 recommended), and navigating it’s interface, as well as using basic photo editing such as color balance, histograms, levels, and Adobe Camera RAW.

You do need to have any infrared capable camera, an IR filter or converted camera, plus a tripod for this workshop. We will also have some equipment for you to try, as well, we will provide you with a series of infrared images to work on.

You do not need to shoot RAW for these workshops but I recommend you do. You do not need a digital SLR for this workshop, certain digital point & shoot cameras work just as well, if not better, as long as you have the neccessary filters for them!
