One of the problems with traditional, continuous “hot lights” is that they are, well, hot and are not all that comfortable to work under for subject and photographer alike. Looking for something cooler?

After I purchased a used Lumix GX1 from Roberts Camera and had it converted for infrared capture using Life Pixel’s Hyper Color filter, I took the camera to the giant “jacks and balls” at Parker CO’s library and immediately began to doubt my choice of cameras.

Richard Avedon once said,“ My portraits are more about me than they are about the people I photograph.” I think he meant that when he makes a portrait he likes to control as much of the environment, and maybe even the subject themselves to create a photograph of his subject that reflect his image of them, not how the subject sees themselves.
