Drowning in Sugar
The delicate appearance of my model’s skin here is exacly the sort of thing I was looking for when I decided to start shooting infrared.
Is too much sugar killing us?

does IR, in this context, stand for InfaRed? Isnt that Heat, Im used to military jargon and stuff but i thought this, and other pictures would be in reds and blues and purples, hot and cold?

Well, in fact it turns out that radiated heat, light, radio waves, xrays, etc. are alll the same thing, just at different frequencies. Infrared light is near the human-visible spectrum, with wavelengths a bit longer than what we see as red. My camera has been modified to be sensitive to what is called near-IR, which is just below what we can see. Radiated heat is deep IR or far IR, and will not register on my sensor.
The colours we choose to represent these photographs in are somewhat arbitrary. We cannot see the actual frequencies, so the photographs map them into frequencies that we can see.
