Richard Mosse

Richard Mosse that uses infrared film for his photography.

I really love the way these images look, the colours are so vibrant.
Richard Mosse plays around with different colour temperatures in his work, another piece I find really interesting is called Heatmap:


Mosse has documented refugee camps and staging sites using an extreme telephoto military-grade camera that can detect thermal radiation, including body heat, at great distance. The camera is used against its intended purpose of border and combat surveillance to map landscapes of human displacement. Reading heat as both metaphor and index, these images reveal the harsh struggle for survival lived daily by millions of refugees and migrants, seen but overlooked, and ignored by many.



I really like the idea of playing around with different qualities/colours/conditions of film in the project, maybe even filming both on 35mm and digital to compare the difference.
