IR in portraits

[recluse]

Try taking ir in portriat, not sure whether the process is correct or not. Can anyone help?
Thks.

01 - Just do channel swap
At red - red to 0, blue to 100
At Blue - red to 100, blue to 0
At green - 120



02 - Channel swap as above with INVERT and layer blending mode to color



03 - Origin from cam

finally got your mod cam...1st got the feels...2nd good try, i like this! Set your camera to vivid color, contrast a bit as well, adjust the level in Photoshop

i personally think that ir portraiture looks better either in full black and white

or if must retain colour, better for thematic shots. e.g. angel wings and the like; or environmental shoots where the ir characteristics can be shown strongly, e.g. among trees, or in the river.

else you end up with funky colors that really really look quite scary.
