So this video has now been age restricted as 18+ and crushed the view count, from 400vph to 7vph..... I've tried to appeal to RUclips but gotten no where. They also said that my channel isn't able to be in the RUclips Partner Programme as Google Adsense won't touch it either. FFS. I've spent 9 months making weekly videos to get this far. Not sure what to do next now. Thanks to everyone who got to see this before it's reach got crushed, the 50 people who bought The Unseen: An Atlas of Infrared Plates from me via my website and who made my publisher sell out. I don't know what to do next but ethically I don't know if I can keep using this platform, making money for them with my videos makes me feel a little bit sick. Ugh, sucks.
I shot some IR film in the early 1970s for an advanced photography class. Not only could you see people's veins through their skin, but you could determine the health of plants. My roommate was a biology major and had a collection of unique plants. From the slides, I could tell him which leaves would die off and in what order. The usual red color substitution for green was tinged with yellow as the chlorophyll in the leaves died.
I do the same today, looking at near Infrared imagery to determine vegetation types and health of vegetation, but from satellite images, orthophotos. Really cool to learn the origin story of (N)IR imagery.
It is great to see creativity with real analog IR-film standing out from the usual saturated digital trends. I like your work and hope you continue make the unique work of yours. You know what you are doing and it really fascinates.
Really interesting and inspiring stuff. I bet The Unseen was a lot of fun to shoot with the variety of subjects and sometimes surprising results. It’s gone on my to buy list. Your channel is honestly one of the most insightful photography channels out there. It’s great to hear stories and first hand knowledge from a seasoned photographer. I hope your channel continues to grow!
Alan, that's probably the kindest thing anyones said about the channel. Thank you 🙏 if you get The Unseen from my website I'll tuck a little surprise in the book for you.
Amazing work. The subjects feel distant and close at the same time. They look extraterrestrial but you can see underneath their skin. Very special mixture of feelings coming up.
Thanks David. When I started shooting the nudes I'd been into photography for 15 years already so there was something thrilling about being genuinely surprised when I developed the film and seeing what the infrared film and done
This book looks really interesting! I just ordered the book off your website. I can't wait to see the full collection of images in my own hands. This will be a treasured addition to my library.
Thank you, although 50 rolls didn't feel like a lot at the time! Ha! I wish I'd been able to get more. I've got 7 folls of 35mm in the freezer still but the last roll I shot of it in 2016 was predominantly blue. If you look on my Instagram you can see a portrait of me holding my mamiya rz67 and that was the effect I got from that deadstock 35mm, not a patch on how the 120 looked when it was still fresh.
Excellent work, Edward. I particularly liked the veins series, (not because of the nudity!) but the colour tones and revelation of the blood vessels. It made me connect with Michael Faber’s book “Under the Skin” and film that came from it.
Awesome episode great info. Shot some Ektachrome IR in the mid 80's loved the look. This is the one film I would love to see come back. Bought a copy of The Unseen from the publisher. Beautiful book.
Congratulations on the show! I've never experimented with IR film but have done more than a little work with digital IR. One thing I found striking--and suspect you have as well--is how intense tattoos become when juxtaposed on IR flesh. I rarely see that mentioned but clearly you have an excellent example in the book.
Fascinating. I’ve done some infrared digital photography. I liked the results in black and white. But I struggle with the false colour, although I haven’t really tried it that much. I just ordered a copy of your book to see if that gives me any inspiration (and because I like the look of it). Love your channel!
Thank you, yes it's an amazing medium. All infrared looks amazing to me, digital or analog. I think there was a French guy a few years ago who made a RUclips video kind of trying to emulate the kind of red analog infrared but on a digital process
Digital infrared is all about the post processing you can get very similar results to what you see here. Especially with the Aerochrome filter that you mentioned it's fairly straightforward for pink. But it can be shifted to a more neutral red fairly easily. Getting color out of the conventional deep red and beyond filters is trickier for sure.
I'm periodically enjoying IR landscapes, black and white which I love, the colour isn't my thing, but I can appreciate what you've shot especially that shot at Chernobyl, very foreboding shot. I've been using an IR filter, but today sent my loved but rarely used X-Pro 2 away to the states to get an 850nm conversion. The main reason for the conversion rather than sticking with the filter is that I want to shoot people pix (portraits not nudie types) in IR hopefully if they go well I'll add a vid on my chan. Congrats on the show, hope it goes really well for you, the nudes look kind of alien, very surreal, the veins thing amazing yet a tad scary. Liked and subbed mate looking forward to seeing how ya go.
Thanks Paul, yes good luck with the IR conversion. I don't really know anything about digital IR as I studied the hell out of Aerochrome over those 6 years making the book, so since 2016 I haven't given it much thought as I've been focusing on other work. There's a lot of material out there. I think the cut off points you choose to use are the key thing with IR and make all the difference, like what range do you choose across the spectrum? Also the nature of the light itself, I worked out pretty quick that conventional light meters didn't help much with working out what the IR was doing. My best tip would to be consistent, those 6 rolls I shot in Chernobyl were all well overexposed! ha! But they all were, so they worked together as a set of photographs.
@@PicturesOnMyMind haha good tips mate. I recall as a young un way before digital I tried a roll of IR film, was less than impressed never shot it again, decades later I found out you had to use a filter on the lens to make the film work haha live n learn all too slowly.
Congratulations and very cool. I’ve been shooting digital infrared portraiture since 2016 and some B&W near-IR (Ilford SFX200 and Roller IR) since around 2019. I haven’t made the leap to Kolarivision’s “IR Chrome” filter yet, but I wondered how portraits using it would turn out and, by extension, if anyone had ever done a portrait series with actual Aerochrome. And now I know. :) Regarding your comment about the paper sweep turning blue…when I shoot IR portraits, I found that all my paper sweeps come out the same color in 720nm (the wavelength I almost always shoot at) because the camera is capturing the reflect IR light, not the paper’s color. The material affects how it’s reflected, which is why Aerochrome was used by the military, because camouflaged items would reflect differently based on the material, rendering their colorization for the camouflage irrelevant. Congratulations again, and I hope the show is everything you want it to be!
Thanks Tim, yes I guess it makes sense that people's clothes changed colour so why not white paper coloramas. Such a strange process, do you have a link to your work?
I've been playing with infrared on and off within my nudes and almost exclusively within my landscapes for a while now. It can have some huge diversity and actually can produce some great more traditional nudes if the model has thicker skin. I've used digital infrared with a 720nm adjusted Canon though.
I never used Aerochrome, or any IR emulsion during my film days, but I have done quite a bit of digital IR photography. My created a book for myself "Unseen Hawaii" (containing B&W IR photographs), the title of which echoes the "Unseen" title of your book. A while back I discovered the Kolarivision IRChrome lens filter, which is supposed to mimic the look of Aerochrome (which as you mention was created for military aerial reconnaissance purposes to make camouflage detection possible - hence the name) when used with a full-spectrum converted digital camera. I've had some mixed results with it.
I shot IR film when I was stationed in Hawaii in 1974-1977. It's kind of a shame that these old film stocks are no longer available. You can fake the look with digital cameras and Photoshop or Lightroom, but it just isn't the same feel.
Wonderful video, Edward, I was probably one of the lucky last buyers of The Unseen, I had to have a printed copy of your beautiful photos! Can I ask if you remember what filter you did use with the aerochrome film if it wasnt the R72? I'm trying to emulate Aerochrome digitally in camera with as little post processing as possible for forensic and landscape use (so that rules out Kolari's IR Chrome) and the closest i've got is full spectrum Sigma cameras, thanks!
You're welcome! I used a random deep orange black and white filter... Not a yellow. I needed a large filter for my mamiya rz so got an old filter online that had no info on it. It was very deep orange, very hard to see through. most people used yellow. Good luck! Let me know how you get on
Well yes, this was quite common in medical photography. I still have my Kodak handbook on Infrared Medical Photography. Now going digital back in the 80’s the use of Nuvicon equipped black and white low light camera that was for surveillance. It too would expose all of the veins of the subject are quite noticeable. Every once in a while some coroners utilized IR photography for certain cases. I actually shot a roll of IR film in the early 80’s and cameras at the time had an indicator on the lens for use when focusing in the subject. One focuses on subject as if shooting regular film and then you find an index on the lens and then readjust the focus slightly to the IR indicator. This was required since the focal point on IR film is different than standard film. Failing to correct the focal point would blur the inane.
That is fascinating! I found the focus shift on IR black and white film was a lot more tricky to deal with the colour infrared film. I don't recall doing much to my focus when shooting the Kodak Aerochrome that I had.
yeah i knew that, i also bought 2 rolls of 120 aerochrome last year and i would like to shoot some photo with blood vessels, what kind of filter should i use or just leave it with no filters?🤔 @@PicturesOnMyMind
@@Patrick-kr1jg I tried a few filters out, it's been ages but orange and yellow ones worked well, I used an orange one for black and white photography. You can try no filter too. The main thing is even light. So make sure it's really diffused. I found that worked best.
Thanks Dan! The Way Of All Flesh. It's up till March. There's a link to the show details on the video caption (I think.. ha! I can't check while I'm writing this. I thought I wrote some details)
Congrats to your awesome Aerochrome project. Something you said surprised me though: you had used an R72 and therefore got very reddish vegetation? Are you sure about that? Without a visual spectrum, there should be no colors, so you should only get monochrome images with R72... I have tried all possible variations with digital cameras myself and found a method (Foveon sensors plus triple bandpass filter which allows Green, Red and IR 850nm to pass) that generate Aerochrome directly from the camera - including all color changes like Red to yellow.
Hi Hidden, yes someone else emailed me about that too. I went through my filter draw and saw an R72 so I thought I must have used that. Its been over 10 years since I made the work and I lost my notebook of my test rolls (ouch!). But now checking out the threads of all the filters in my filter draw (I have one of those) it looks like I'd used the R72 with a twin lens... and the only reason I would have done that was when I was trying b&w infrared film not Aerochrome! I had a bunch of different filters I used for each project in the book. From my draw it looks like a #12 yellow and some weird black and white filter thats a very deep orange that has no markings on I got from some rando in ebay that fit the thread of my Mamiya . It does say 'black and white filter' on it but I found I got good results with Aerochrome.
I'm not gonna make assumptions and I'm not one to scream for diversity but I didn't see any black induvials. If there aren't any it seems like a missed opportunity (even if they don't get they intended results) it would be interesting to see the comparisons by melanin or even how different/ difficult the process would be if you can photography their veins too.
Yes, I thought that too, so I did. If you look at the contact sheet at the end of the video you'll see a chap with a dark skin tone, I cant remember as it was 10 years ago, I think he was British asian. The veins did not come through at all so I focused on models who it would work on. Thanks for the comment.
Two points , A weird red line across the ground in an infrared photo taken in the most volcanicly active country in the world ? Not all that weird if youthink about it . I used to love this medium , if you have any left , a red filter on a landscape won't change most ground level stuff much , but you get deep black clear skies with very bright orange and yellow clouds ! Putting that over the bright red foliage turns even a mediocre scene into a striking imagine .
it wasn't lava! 🤣 Is that what you mean? I have a few rolls of 35mm but they were passed best in 2016 and are happily nestled under the frozen peas in the freezer. Yeah, it's a fun medium.
Not lava , you would have seen it 's glow , A fumarole gasses heated by subsurface magma can reach the surface at temperatures hundreds of degrees hotter than necessary to expose the film . A crack as long as that appeared to be , would be unusual , but could well have been a precursor to the recent kilometers long eruption , or one like it .
@@PicturesOnMyMind was diagnosed with aplastic anemia last year I've been focusing on my treatment since then usually I would do photography I used to do darkroom and infrared photography myself but havnt been able to I got one more year of treatment from April
@@PicturesOnMyMindyes thank you hopefully this treatment works by march I might be able to the exhibition as my first exhibition experience in ages haha oh and congrats on that I've been trying to get work with the ffotogalary in Cardiff for a while I havnt been trying since I got unwell it's difficult haha
I'm new to RUclips and don't have many subscribers. I read somewhere that RUclips doesn't promote/push content with nudity. If I hadn't done that then the video wouldn't have been pushed by RUclips to 21k people in 4 days. It's not censored in the book, but that's nearly sold out now.
I think one big reason for the delay of production is because the information found in the research is something the Deep State wants to control. I think they think it belongs to them not you!!!
But what kind of world do we live? So horrible to see a nipple that you must hid it when talking naked photography... But every child has free access to pornography.
It's funny as I even covering up the nipples wasn't enough to pass RUclips / Adsenses "programme criteria". So I won't be monetising my channel by the looks of it.
So this video has now been age restricted as 18+ and crushed the view count, from 400vph to 7vph..... I've tried to appeal to RUclips but gotten no where.

A fumarole gasses heated by subsurface magma can reach the surface at temperatures hundreds of degrees hotter than necessary to expose the film .
A crack as long as that appeared to be , would be unusual , but could well have been a precursor to the recent kilometers long eruption , or one like it .
If I ever need to fake my own death I know what film to use.
I have this book I wrote about it in my university work
Well hold onto it, it's nearly sold out now! Which uni did you go to?
@@PicturesOnMyMind I went to Cardiff metropolitan and University of South Wales
@@PicturesOnMyMind was diagnosed with aplastic anemia last year I've been focusing on my treatment since then usually I would do photography I used to do darkroom and infrared photography myself but havnt been able to I got one more year of treatment from April

So green shows up red?
Yes, it's how things would look if we saw on a slightly different visible spectrum of light. Maybe aliens would see like this 👽
Pathetic that the pictures should be censored. What on earth for?
I'm new to RUclips and don't have many subscribers. I read somewhere that RUclips doesn't promote/push content with nudity. If I hadn't done that then the video wouldn't have been pushed by RUclips to 21k people in 4 days. It's not censored in the book, but that's nearly sold out now.
I think one big reason for the delay of production is because the information found in the research is something the Deep State wants to control.
I think they think it belongs to them not you!!!
"Infred" 😂
Will semen photograph as black?
You gotta ask Andreas Serrano about that stuff
But what kind of world do we live?
So horrible to see a nipple that you must hid it when talking naked photography...
But every child has free access to pornography.
It's funny as I even covering up the nipples wasn't enough to pass RUclips / Adsenses "programme criteria". So I won't be monetising my channel by the looks of it.
