Karen

This is Karen, one of my oldest friends from way back when we met at school. We went for a dog walk yesterday and I asked if I could take her picture with the IR camera out of curiosity to see what would happen. I'd read that IR makes skin look like porcelain and sees right through sunglasses - and it does. Karen kindly told me I could use this picture for the project, so here it is.

@LaniK Hi Lani, do you remember several months ago your Get Pushed challenge to me was an IR portrait which sadly I couldn't produce because the sun refused to shine? I thought you might be interested in this picture instead. I love the effect here, now want to start up the 100 Strangers project again! Felicity

[Wylie]

the light dividing her face and dividing the opposing background looks fab. fav.

[Peter H]

The IR effect does add a different dimension to the portrait.

[PhylM-S]

This came out really cool - not quite surreal look but a very cool one.

[Annie D]

Such a cool result 😀

[David]

It worked well I think. I like the difference between the two lenses.. a strong clue that it is an IR shot.

[gloria jones]

Excellent result for this great portrait

[Mandy]

What a great effect. It's great going through the sunglasses. I really like the effect.

[Shanne]

Not sure I care for the IR portrait. Probably more flattering in color.

Very interesting, an idea worth exploring.

Super capture. IR did a really good job. Fav.

Ha ha, I must develop an IR mirror then so I can look as smooth as silk like this! Lots of fun

[Tina]

Amazing

[tony gig]

[Sue Rose]

I think I’d like to be seen in IR all the time if that’s the way it makes your skin look! Great portrait and very interesting.

Such an interesting result - and her skin does look like porcelain!
