I am often asked why I am so attracted to working with infrared
light, and this image is a great example of what I find so engaging. The drama
in the sky is 100% rooted in infrared photography, as are the light tones of
the seaweed on the rock below Liz. In colour, the image would work, but in
infrared, it transcends the literal, and becomes an interpretation of the
scene, as opposed to just a representation of it.

For a good ten minutes I worked with this basic composition,
experimenting with different camera angles, and poses for Liz; what made the
image different for me was I focused more on the shadows and negative space
than the highlights, which is backwards from my usual approach.

One of the best parts of working close to sunset is how low and
angular the light becomes; with this portrait of Liz, the low light looked
wonderful on her skin, and created a beautiful graphic quality to the final
portrait.
