About the Last Angels Artist

Fine art photography of the Last Angels who watch over us.

All of the Last Angels images are taken using Kodak Ektachrome Infrared color film (EIR). I like to use EIR, because the false color effect, to me, is reminiscent of B & W, only in color and with additional nuances. The infrared sensitivity of EIR allows visualization of subtle differences that would otherwise be visually similar - the effect of wear and mosses on the stones, for example.

EIR produces false-color images, since it is sensitive from near-UV through the colors our eyes perceive, and into the near-infrared (IR) spectrum. The effect of compressing the wider range into an image our eyes can see produces a color shift. The final image predominant color is also modified by the amount of reflected IR light present.

Filters are a critical part of EIR photography. They help control the color shift (I'll post a couple of comparison images soon).

Equipment Used:

Nikon N90s 35mm Camera
Konica FT-1 35mm Camera
100mm Lens (primary lens for consistent perspective)
Assorted other lenses
Medium yellow filters
Red filters

The best resources on the web for infrared photographers are the Infrared FAQ and WJ's Photo Homepage. I am indebted to the other photographers who contribute to the FAQ and share their experiences and knowledge with others.
