Black-and-White Infrared
Photography using near-infrared light, first explored by Robert W. Wood in 1910. Foliage glows white, skies turn almost black and everything feels surreal, a look later adopted by landscape photographers.

Why it happens
Chlorophyll in leaves strongly reflects near-infrared light while water and sky reflect little, so plants render bright and skies dark on infrared-sensitive material.

Skin looks smooth and pale. Keep the original subject and composition.”
