This image by Richard Mosse is shot in the eastern congo using infrared film as part of a series called Infra. The images in this series have not been digitally manipulated. This photograph is mostly complementary and the pink landscape creates a creepy and surreal mood that contrasts with the cargo green uniforms of the soldiers. I really like how the shape formed by this small army of men mimics the line of the horizon in the background. This color contrast makes the subjects of the image stand out and apart from their environment.
I saw this photographer's work the other day.
ReplyDeleteI almost posted it myself today.
The way the infrared film reads green just blows my mind, I had never thought color film could change my view of the world like this series did.
