365 Days In Infrared: A Photography Project By Kate Davies

ADVERTISEMENT

I started my 365 project on 4 January 2014 (the 1st would be far too neat!) and although it is a worldwide phenomenon, I am one of the few photographers to shoot in infrared. I use circular format which makes my collection even more distinctive.

Now, I am committed to sharing an original image every day on my Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram accounts, and the challenge has forced me to think out my photography in unexpected ways. First of all, I can’t see through my viewfinder while shooting in infrared, so a lot of guesstimation is involved. Secondly, shooting for a circle requires completely different composition to a camera’s rectangle or Instagram’s square format. In terms of subject matter, the project is a window into my life and my images include intimate snapshots of important people and places. I find the title of each image an important part of the whole, enriching the moment that the image evokes. I’ll stick with it because I like how it keeps photography top of my mind every day, actively seeking out shots for the project.
