But those are all fucking ultraviolet photos. Infrared does the opposite, making skin smooth and doll-like, the skin being semi-transluscent to IR. Jesus christ, every article about this photographer/set says infrared and it's clearly not.

1. Buy old milsurp ir flashlight/iluminator.
2. Get large GN flashgun.
3. Glue flashlight ir filter to flash.
4. ?????
5. Cliché!

So what do negroes look photographed w/ an IR flash on an IR sensitive medium? And does this shit see through clothes?

I mean, there's more going on here. Probably some kind of filter too.

You can just say black, grandpa.

There was some kind of scandal where Sony point and shoot cameras had a night mode that could """""""see""""""" through certain thin materials. If you look closely, you can see that this man is wearing a plaid cardigan and suspenders.

But sonny boy, I like saying negro. I particularly like the plural which amends itself well to overconjugation in a jocular spirit.

And I was referring to some old primitive video recorder, DAT or mini VHS, with an infrared illuminator on it and a switchable filter, so that it'd see in the dark. Its darkness sensor could just be obscured to turn it into Nudie Peeper Camera in normal daylight however, to the point where one could see a bit of nipple and/or bush through a summer dress and underwear. Tabloids loved it, front and back. Manufacturer eventually shipped a firmware upgrade (or some such) in later models that'd also require darkness in visible light via the main lens... so it'd only be a peeper camera if you had an IR filter in front...

more info please

But it's UV, not IR photography. Look at skin and eyes.

Huh. It's from a series called "Inframen", and all info on the net refers to it as infrared photography, but you're right that those look a lot more like UV than IR.

I wonder if he just used a UV light and called it "inframen" using the infra- prefix to mean 'underneath' (i.e., showing the scars underneath their skin) and people just misinterpreted it?

Because you're right, IR photos tend to HIDE little blemishes and shit on people's skin (because red zits and freckles reflect IR exactly the same as regular skin), but UV light makes those little red blemishes turn high-contrast black.

Or maybe it involved IR but not in the way we're thinking?

It's UV and the author is an artist, not a photographer or scientist so they were just idiots and slapped a nice-sounding name on a thing they dont understand or care about beyond results. It's UV. What's cringy is all the pro photography websites repeating infrared in their articles and no one picking up on the glaring mistake.

To get pic related, what is required? Near infrared?

>>3142535
Modded camera (ir cut removed) and red filter I think. IR+red in red channel, almost nothing on green and ir on blue channel. (Typical sensor bayes filter red and blue passes ir but green does not. Depends.) Deeper infrared filter results more monochromatic purple. Yellow filter gives green sky. Twiddle hue and saturation to taste in pp.

>>3142566
Also if its taken w unmodded camera, very deep red filter. (Which passes IR and some visible red.)

Okay, I'll bite: where can I get a UV camera and flash? Specifically the flash.
