Artist’s Statement:

During my 2019 visit to France, I wanted to photograph, and “see”, France in a different way than usual. My approach was to use a digital camera converted for SuperBlue image capture. In a SuperBlue camera, the sensor has a specially installed filter that allows only Blue, Infrared, and Ultraviolet light to pass.

Blue is a frequency of light we can see, however Infrared and Ultraviolet, which are not visible to our human eyes, are also recorded by the camera’s sensor. These SuperBlue light frequencies are then translated by the camera into red, green, and blue (RGB) colors with very interesting, although sometimes arbitrary, results.

With my other digital photography work, I normally shoot monochrome and color images simultaneously, which allows me to compare the color and black/white images. I enjoy the translation from greys to SuperBlue color and chose to exhibit both images, side by side, for this photographic series.

I hope you will carefully examine the differences between the SuperBlue monochrome and color images and appreciate the unique signature of infrared blended with blue and ultraviolet.
