Infrared photography presents an entirely different way of looking at landscapes, architecture and the shapes and forms of the human body. It is made possible by using infrared-enabled digital cameras and IR filters that pass infrared at 1000 nanometers while blocking all visible light. Surfaces that reflect infrared light appear white and those that absorb it appear black. 

CCD's in digital cameras are extremely sensitive to infrared light. When the IR blocking filter has been removed from the light path inside the camera and an infrared passing filter is placed on the front of the lens, digital cameras that normally shoot color become a tool for capturing infrared. Infrared images appear a crisp black and white vs standard color images.  I have been shooting IR for 15 years, and have a variety of photographic products for sale on this site. Take a look at the difference between IR and color images below. You can see the same objects, but they look fundamentally different in infrared.
