The 2018 Harwich Arts festival will be featuring the Infra-Red photography of Kirk Rogers. Not to be confused with thermal imaging or night vision, Infra-red photography captures a scene under a wavelength of light that is invisible to the human eye. The resulting photographs range from dramatic, high contrast structural shots to dreamy landscapes filled with shifted colours and whispy skies. Each photograph on the trail will be accompanied with information about the process used to create the image with further hints, tips and techniques to inspire everyone to get involved and experiment with this uncommon, yet beautiful strand of photography
