Description
So, you have an infrared converted camera or shoot with infrared filters. Perhaps you have been considering venturing into infrared photography and want to learn what is required to shoot and process infrared. Don’t have an infrared camera but are interested in trying infrared out before converting a camera? Not a problem. Infrared camera rental is available.
Digital cameras have made infrared photography accessible. You will learn how and why infrared photography is a fantastic creative tool in your photographic toolbox.
OVERVIEW
We will begin by photographing the Boston Public Garden, the jewel of Boston. It is a large botanical garden in the heart of Boston with beautiful trees, a pond, the famous swan boats and statues. It is surrounded by classic architecture of the Back Bay and Beacon Hill. The Boston Public Garden is part of the Emerald Necklace and is the first botanical garden established in the US.
You will learn the importance of white balance and how it affects your images. You will learn how to properly set the white balance in-camera (if your camera has the option) as well as setting it properly during post-processing. We will discuss the various types of infrared filters and how they render photographically. You will learn to visualize a scene in infrared and understand how infrared light affects a scene. We will identify best practices to photograph in infrared and how to handle infrared raw images in post processing.
There is so much more to extract from that funky infrared RAW image than just black and white. Regardless of which wavelength(s) your images are photographed in, much more can be obtained from the raw image. Infrared can be a challenge to shoot and to process. This workshop will provide you with the necessary knowledge to master it and turn your captures into beautiful surreal art.
Prerequisites
An infrared converted camera or a regular camera with a 720nm infrared filter.
Optional but recommended: ND filters and tripod, shutter release.
For Post-Processing Workshop
Photoshop, and some knowledge of layers. Not a Photoshop user? Not a problem. Contact me for alternate software you can use to process infrared.

You will receive materials with step by step instructions and video tutorials.

To register, kindly follow the instructions below:
These are the links to Venmo, CashApp and PayPal. Graphical codes are below. Please send the workshop tuition ($325) as a friend payment as they all charge fees otherwise. I will know whom the payment is from based on this form once submitted, so you don’t need to add a description.
I also accept Zelle and checks. Contact me if you wish to use either of these.
I accept Credit Card payments as well. As I am no longer able to absorb their ever increasing fees, I sadly have to pass their fees on to you. A 4% convenience fee has been added to the workshop tuition for credit card payments.
Note: No physical tickets will be mailed out. A confirmation email will be sent to you once payment is received. I will then contact you to schedule a call to discuss the plan. Thank you.
