I would try to take an infrared camera to a gym and shoot photos of people's veins popping while they work out. There could be some intense shots.

[@epsilomtrent932]

The beauty of just taking photos. Even removing colors, or changing them all together makes the shots have such an unreal yet real effect. Beautiful.

[@marsgal42]

I shot a couple of rolls of Ektachrome Infrared back in the day. It shifted everything down a notch so infrared imaged as red, red imaged as green and green imaged as blue. Green plants were bright pink (ir + green -> red + blue). I called it the Barbie World look. :-)

[@AlexandraStarr1974]

Quite interesting, but why do we only stop at infra red? I would love to have a camera that could flip from visible light to infrared, or ultraviolet, or any of the many wavelengths of light that the human eye cannot detect! The visible light our eyes can see is just a small percentage of what is really in front of our eyes!

[@jane1975]

@Alexandra Starr Photography: Then you will need a Full Spectrum conversion done when having a camera body converted, the camera will then be sensitive to UV, Visible Light, and IR and you just choose a filter to go on the lens and different ones will give different effects-Pierre is using an Orange Filter here I think and this looks very similar to old colour IR film called Aerochrome. All those colour filters that were once used for Black and White photography all pass IR and produce different results when placed on the lens, for taking normal photos you would need a UV/IR cut filter and for UV only you would need a specialist UV pass only filter.

[@oliverhilton6086]

I’m not a scientist so don’t completely trust me on this, but I think it’s only really UV-through-IR on the EM spectrum that bounces off with visible light.

[@mixbsd]

Even with a full spectrum camera, you would still need to change the filters on the front of the lens, and you would need to use a lens that can correctly focus UV, IR and visible light (UV and IR focuses differently to visible light). These lenses do exist, but they are very expensive (USD 6000+ for a Jenoptik 60mm APO lens, for example).

[@LeendertCordemans]

Uncoated lenses and a full spectrum camera. The coatings blocks a lot.

[@garryb4072]

Actually, a camera that has been modified for full spectrum photography can be used for normal photography with the addition of a "Hot Mirror" filter the end of the lens being used. I use mostly lenses with 58 mm filter rings, so I have a 58mm hot mirror filter.

[@pierre-louisferrer5307]

This is true, but hard to detail all the subtleties of infrared photography in only a 3min video ;).

[@baxtermarrison5361]

I love the effect from Pierre-Louis' conversion. I have shot on 35mm IR film but never had a go with a digital IR conversion.

[@Zilvinas.Garnelis]

I like just how much better your images come out. You really do have your own style, this perfected composition, perspective from down below, using foliage as importantly as your model. But when are your weird lens videos coming out? :)

[@AiurMedia]

such a magical feel

[@MicaelWidell]

I love your videos, keep it up!

[@MrThunderGlow]

Vos portraits sont dingues ! Surtout ceux de Pierre-Louise et des tiens Mathieu

wow awesome shots!

[@AlGreenLightThroughGlass]

The IR portraits are awesome

[@tasteinparis7138]

This is mind blowing ... i love the red ones so much

[@villemononen5303]

The red ones are gorgeous, really attractive!

[@Johns_ph]

Red❤️

[@mezzouille]

Pour bien faire sortir les veines il faut frotter avec de l'alcool à 70° ! Très fun comme concept l'infrared !

[@ditorres9884]

I'm curious to see how IR black and white portrait fairs out. I've seen amazing landscape pictures using this.

[@ferencbodor]

How do you guys manage to shoot in such humid environment without your lens fogging up? :/

[@BklynBorn81]

What conversion was made to the modified camera that shot photos where the leaves were red? What IR filter was installed?

[@jammu8482]

What's the exact filter that Pierre-Louis is using?

[@shadyhanna_]

Hey! Great vid! Was wondering which lens is on your camera (the sony) ?

[@iammetn]

Pierre...very interested in the red leaves look. I have a full spectrum converted camera and would like to know what filter i would need, can you assist?

[@HollaenderDK]

Hi Matheieu, I noticed some blue on your lens - lens or adapter? :-) Do you have any experience on good adapters? Sony to FD, Sony to M42 etc. I have tried a few from e-bay, but quality varies. Maybe you could do a video on this ;-) Keep up the good work - you have cost me hours and hours on eBay looking for vintage lenses.

[@MathieuStern]

Hey Thomas the Adapter i have is a Fotodiox with built in ND filters quality varies between adapters but as long as you get the shot, i go for the cheaper one

[@parranoic]

Get one the has the inne ring smaller, my canon one had a large ring and i had to glue some of my lens pin to get manual aperture control

[@nicobarbieri]

Wow! I loved these shots! Could you make a sort of tutorial about it?

[@douwee.855]

Cool effect but I have the feeling that it would see limited use with most photographers.

[@pierre-louisferrer5307]

As for every special techniques, photographers have to go beyond the only visual effect to create interesting images.

[@RenTheGreat]

@@pierre-louisferrer5307 agreed! Photography can become boring if you never experiment. I mean after all you're literally just pressing a button and aligning a shot. The more work you put into a photograph the more appreciation it will receive. Maybe not recognition but people that see it will be wowed.

[@waynecake5867]

First I saw your title I thought it is a thermal camera, but not. Then the comparaison(or comparison)? Where is it? I got giddy.

[@harukahayashi]

wow le jardin botanique est beau!

[@jbaquinones]

Nice shots

[@lemmetellyousomething679]

Please make a video on slide show of your infrared photos. No comparison to originals or setup etc. Just a smooth video of slide show of only IR photos. Please, please, please 🥺

[@GinzoIT]

Awesome video man! I have a question: if I convert a camera to 550nm, I then should be able to obtain a 590nm, 650nm, 720nm etc photo just adding the corrispondig filter to the lens, is this correct?

[@MathieuStern]

normal yes, the filter will do the rest

[@CakeZRqGoTR]

If you haven't yet, just go full spectrum. You will also be able to shoot in normal colour with an UV/IR Cut filter, and in UV with proper filtering and lenses.

[@GinzoIT]

CakeZRqGoTR will do, thank you :)

[@BklynBorn81]

Million Dollar Question: What were the conversions (what nanometer range) were done to he cameras and what filters were used in front?

[@angelisone]

Many are at 720nm. If this installed, then no filter needed in front of lens.

[@DoctorNobody]

Really interested to know the technique used by Pierre Louis with the chanels… @mathieu stern has it been explained in some other video?

[@MathieuStern]

Not yet, but he uses a full spectrum camera.

[@scottelescope]

The modification of the camera is one thing only or there is other kind of modifications?I bought a Hoya infrared R72 filter for my sl3 and i loved the results.Is it needed to modify for better results?a modified camera will use the same filter as my Hoya?also i noticed how dark this filter is..without sun is hard to take a shot.The filters u r using in this video are they so dark?I would appreciate any help and tips if its possible!

[@robh.6940]

Modifying the camera will just allow more infrared light into the sensor. So, you will still need to use an infrared filter like your R72, but not as much light is blocked, because the IR blocker inside the camera is removed. Modifying the camera will allow you to use it in lower light situations. When you don't modify the camera, the filter is allowing in the IR light, but the filter inside the camera is blocking most of it. Modifying it removes that problem. The filters are dark because they're blocking almost all visible light, which is what "dark" is. But they're allowing in IR light.

[@scottelescope]

Thank so much Rob for answering me and u where really helpful!! I m thinking now to buy an older camera and remove the filter so i can use it only for infrared fotography.I will keep my sl3 as it is for now.

[@robh.6940]

@@scottelescope I just ordered an older, used Canon 50D to try this on. It was only $45 US, I was really surprised how cheap it was. Hopefully it works. :)

[@scottelescope]

@@robh.6940 Damn Rob,i d be glad it works! 😊 At this price i would be so scared to buy one!I wish u get great pictures and i m on my way too ..😊

[@PriscillaGomez]

Would a full spectrum converted camera with a 590nm filter achieve the same red photo style as Pierre’s pictures? Or would that only be possible with with a 550nm? Btw great video!

[@pierre-louisferrer5307]

The aerochrome style is only possible with 550nm filters and under 550nm, to achieve red/fuchsia foliage without uniform tint.

[@PriscillaGomez]

Excellent thank you!

[@jane1975]

@Princilla Gomez: The Hoya 25A or Red [590nm ] produces Gold foliage, you would need a Yellow or Orange filter to achieve red foliage, I have seen Yellow filter images before and the foliage is Tomato Red and pretty and surreal too.

[@UHFStation1]

I wonder what an HD true infrared camera would see. I have a Flir, but it is pretty low res.

[@angelisone]

I had three modified by ATG: ATG Sony A7s III IR ATG Sony A9 IR ATG Sony A7 III UV My staff and I use the ATG Gold Phantom IR (2,000ws TTL) strobes to photo indoors even with HSS and shooting to covert operations.

[@Philippe1952]

Merci Mathieu ... belle vidéo. On aimerait connaître les noms des abrutis qui cliquent « j’aime pas », mais ça c’est une autre histoire !

[@bypanteonera]

can this redish foliage effect be done with an Infrared filter?

[@mrdarklight]

What filter was Pierre Louis using?

[@MrAma1l]

Hiii Super takumar 50mm 1.4 vs minolta 50mm 1.4 witch Lens i pick?? And minolta 45mm f2 i'ts good???

[@stergiosspiropoulos]

what are the settings and which filter to see human veins?

[@OneUpdateataTime]

Ah yes, now I know how to photograph people to look like demons.

[@amandabosse1187]

How did Pierre get the red look with his photos? (Sorry I’m super uneducated in IR filter photography i just found out about it recently)

[@angelisone]

Amanda Bosse, the camera's blocking filter (sits in front of the sensor, which blocks infrared light from coming into the sensor) is removed. And a clear filter was placed in front of the sensor. This has to be done by ATG or mod companies. Then you screw on a IR (infrared) filter over your lenses's front thread.

[@LeendertCordemans]

I using a full spectrum camera with different filters. I can do what I want.

[@iLikeTheUDK]

Would you revisit this?

[@asmrcuriositycabinet3143]

Just WOW

[@BfoSHIZnats]

What filter is Pierre using?

[@pierre-louisferrer5307]

The new 550nm infrared filter by Kolari Vision.

[@hacker69ify]

Its like horror story

[@cyrildescoursiere9060]

Do you have to use an infrared filter when you have a modified camera ?

[@pierre-louisferrer5307]

Cela dépend. Soit l'appareil est converti à une longueur d'onde définie, et le filtre est fixé devant le capteur, soit il est converti full spectrum, et dans ce cas il faut visser le filtre IR de son choix devant l'objectif. Tout est expliqué ici en français : www.infrarouge.photo

[@songlaosin3201]

You gotta show us how to do the mod

[@MrThunderGlow]

You'd better pay a professional to do it for you

[@reillylievers3354]

IR conversions can mess with A DSLR's auto focus. Shooting with live view can ensure you have actual focus.

Or just slap an IR filter on your lens and its all good :?

[@pierre-louisferrer5307]

Unfortunately, no. If you want to achieve a normal to high speed shoot in infrared, you need to convert your camera.
