When I started out with infrared photography a few months ago I had no idea where my journey would take me. Initially I though infrared would be about capturing landscape, but that changed when I started photographing the buildings and manmade elements of Dunedin city.
The image that made me sit up and go ‘wow, I love how this looks’ was of the clock tower at Otago University. Heritage buildings render beautifully in infrared. There is almost a vintage and gothic vibe imparted by the glow of the foliage and grass in each scene. In Dunedin we have a nice selection of heritage buildings, so I intend to keep returning to them all, as I know each visit will give me a different result. I am not 100% happy with some of the images in the set below, but you can clearly see where I am heading with my infrared work. It will be great when a few key buildings are uncovered from scaffolding, hopefully they will have some extra pop for photos.
