Infrared & Pigment Transfers

Theresa Airey

Infrared and Pigment Transfers

This will be a fun filled and exciting creative workshop. I will show you how to see in Infrared, how to think in Infrared and how to capture the best IR shots possible. We will also cover choosing the right IR filter for your work covering all the new IR filters including “Color Infrared” with the new Amplified/color filters. 

During the workshop, we will cover getting the most color from your IR shots using Topaz software and Nik’s Silver Efex software in conjunction with your Photoshop program.  These are great software’s that you can download a trial version for the workshop (if you don’t have them) and come away with knowing whether or not you want them. She has a discount code for purchasing them also.

Later in the week, we will make Pigment Transfers, printing the images on film and transferring them onto wooden cradleboards as well as Stone Paper and artist papers using the new Dass Super Sauce. Then proceed to enhance them with painting and collage work for a final art piece.

The black and white IR files, printed onto film for transfer have the 3- dimensional look and the depth of information in the shadow areas or the darker tones that was the trademark of the Carbon Process. The pigment transfer actually sits on top of the Stone Paper and has a wonderful richness not found in a print on inkjet paper. The transfers actually glow.

Come with an open mind and go home inspired and with your head filled with new ideas, new processes, and new techniques enabling you to create your own unique images.
