Charleston Infrared Photography

It’s been a minute since I brought out my Nikon Coolpix A Infrared Camera!

While my friend Dr. Paul was in town visiting, I took him downtown to explore a bit of the old historic Charleston sceneray. I had recently been commissioned to photograph some classy artistic black-and-white shots of downtown that will be turned into wall art for the Charleston County School District. The late afternoon light was creating dramatic shadows and beautiful contrast everywhere. So this was the perfect opportunity to add to my collection of fine-art infrared photos for them to choose from.

Here are a few of my favorites…

Charleston Charm in Infrared

After shooting a small wedding at White Point Garden yesterday, I decided it was too nice an afternoon not to go for a walk around charming downtown Charleston.
We put away the “heavy stuff” and I grabbed my lightweight Coolpix A that I had converted to see infrared light by Kolari Vision. I did a video about this camera and what I had done to it if anyone is interested in converting an old camera to infrared: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FsuIRK90wY&t=21s.

Being the last day of the South Eastern Wildlife Expo, there were a lot of tourists along The Battery. So I threaded my way through Stolls Alley, up to Tradd Street, and down the less-traveled parts of the old historic district.

Magnolia Plantation in Infrared

Work is good. Busy is good. But occasionally when I shoot too many assignments in a row and don’t have enough room to “breathe”, I feel my creativity getting stifled. It’s during those times that taking an afternoon off for a hike around Magnolia Plantation with nothing but my infrared camera can feel like a brilliant breath of fresh air!!!

Old Abandoned Stono Church in IR

I went for a ride with my friends and fellow photographers, Mark, Daniel, and Kraig last weekend.

I brought my Nikon Coolpix A, which has been converted to see Infrared light by Kolari Vision. It’s an amazing little camera with a super sharp 28mm f2.8 lens and a large 16MP DX sensor.

Here are a few shots from the old abandoned Stono Church off Hwy 165…
