>>3142397>But it's UV, not IR photography. Look at skin and eyes.Huh. It's from a series called "Inframen", and all info on the net refers to it as infrared photography, but you're right that those look a lot more like UV than IR.
I wonder if he just used a UV light and called it "inframen" using the infra- prefix to mean 'underneath' (i.e., showing the scars underneath their skin) and people just misinterpreted it?
Because you're right, IR photos tend to HIDE little blemishes and shit on people's skin (because red zits and freckles reflect IR exactly the same as regular skin), but UV light makes those little red blemishes turn high-contrast black.
Or maybe it involved IR but not in the way we're thinking?
