In Another Light is co-authored by Paul Gallagher and Michael Pilkington.
This book completely challenges the traditional rules of infrared photography. For years, photographers were taught that the optimal results for infrared required bright summer sunshine and green leaves.
Armed with digital converted cameras, Paul and Michael throw those constraints aside. They demonstrate how to shoot in stormy conditions, winter weather, and under heavily overcast skies to capture softer, beautifully expressive tones. By deliberately omitting all colour, Michael and Paul treat infrared as a pure, highly refined form of black and white photography.
What You Will Discover Inside:
Global Case Studies: Study stunning infrared images captured across the globe, from the Scottish Highlands and the Yorkshire Dales to the sheer granite faces of Yosemite National Park and the Yellow Mountains of China.
The Why Behind the Lens: For every single photograph, Paul and Michael explain their visual process and the specific reasons why infrared was the perfect medium to capture that exact scene. You will read exactly how Paul used a ten stop neutral density filter to capture violently swaying trees in a Scottish gale , and how infrared was used to reveal hidden light shafts through flat grey clouds in the Lake District.
Technical Field Insights: Learn the practical benefits of shooting in infrared. Michael and Paul explain how the medium cuts through swirling mist , drastically enhances dramatic sky detail , compresses difficult brightness ranges in ancient woodlands , and reveals incredible hidden textures in rock and stone that remain invisible to the naked eye.
Expert Tuition: Learn from two masters of the craft. Paul is a renowned large format photographer and master printer , while Michael is a principal lecturer and expert in post processing and the digital darkroom.
