iPhone Infrared with Rad Drew

Think you need a specialised, expensive, permanently converted DSLR camera to capture those ethereal, dreamlike infrared images with snowy-white foliage and deep, moody skies?

Think again! You can create breathtaking infrared art using the standard mobile phone right in your pocket.

A Note from Mark

I am absolutely pleased as punch to welcome back our friend and community-favourite, Rad Drew! Rad has wowed us in the past with his wonderful mobile phone secrets and his Snapseed masterclasses.

When he showed me the gorgeous infrared artwork he’s been creating using a mobile phone, I was astounded. I knew we had to bring him back to pull the curtain back for us. It is a fantastic, deeply creative technique that turns ordinary daytime landscapes into something magical. I just know you are going to love his incredibly practical, friendly approach!

What You Will Learn

In this 90-minute interactive webinar, Rad will share the accessories, camera apps, photographing techniques and mobile processing tools he uses for phone infrared photography.

Rad began his infrared journey with an iPhone 11 Pro Max, so any model from the iPhone 11 right up to the latest iPhone 17 works beautifully (though you'll get the absolute best results with the Pro models).

• The Right Scenes: Which landscapes and subjects are beautifully conducive to infrared.

• Perfect Conditions: What lighting and weather conditions work best to get that striking IR effect.

• Native Camera Tricks: How to use your phone's native camera and Night Mode to capture infrared light.

• Long Exposures: How to use accessory apps to capture silky, moving water and streaking clouds in infrared.

• The Essential Gear: A clear guide to budget-friendly infrared filters, mounts and cases and exactly where to find them.

• Mobile Processing Workflows: How to leverage masking and selective editing tools to craft exquisite image tone and contrast.

• The Ethereal Film Glow: Step-by-step techniques to recreate the beautiful, classic glow reminiscent of traditional infrared film.

A Friendly Note to Our Android Users:

This webinar is geared toward the iPhone interface, but many of the creative concepts apply more broadly. Several of the key apps presented (like Lightroom Mobile and Snapseed) work perfectly on Android devices. You are welcome to join us, learn the workflows and adapt them to your favorite Android device!
