Infrared photography is a technique that captures light not visible to the human eye, specifically infrared light. This type of photography uses special film or digital sensors that are sensitive to infrared wavelengths, allowing photographers to create unique images that highlight different aspects of a scene, such as foliage and skies. In infrared images, green vegetation often appears bright white or light, while skies can take on a dark, dramatic tone. This effect is due to the way plants reflect infrared light, making infrared photography popular for landscape and artistic photography, as it creates surreal and otherworldly visuals.
