The electromagnetic spectrum encompasses the entire range, from the longest radio waves to the shortest gamma rays. This continuous spectrum can be divided into distinct regions based on frequency and wavelength represented in tone/colors and temperature/heat.

invisible to the human eye but can cause fluorescence in certain materials and has significant biological effects. UV radiation can reveal details invisible in normal light. It is also the way bee’s see in black and white. Ultraviolet light lacks white light, resulting in sharp yet softer images comprised of gradient light.

represents the narrow portion of electromagnetic radiation that human eyes can detect. The visible spectrum encompasses all colors from violet (shortest wavelengths) through blue, green, yellow, orange, to red (longest wavelengths). visual light is the only spectrum where white light exists creating edge sharpness.

extending beyond the visible light spectrum, enables the detection of heat signatures. This technology finds applications in monitoring farms, forests, and plant life on earth for health and toxic conditions. For photography you can explore mixing bandpass filtering for immersive effects. infrared ight lacks white light, resulting in sharp yet softer images comprised of gradient light.

[single-bandpass-filter or custom-bandpass-filter]

captures ultraviolet, visible, and infrared radiation simultaneously using modified-cameras that do not use Bayer infrared-cut filters. This allows for maximizing images taken in theatrical lighting, enabling the recording of the intended scene obstructed by a universal perspective in camera manufacturing. Older cameras can be converted by removing the bandpass filter, allowing you to create your communication/art with greater depth and clarity in physical reality. This is where science and art intersect. However, new cameras have bandpass filters applied by vaporization on both sensors and lesnes making them difficult or impossible to convert to full-spectrum.

IR-chrome filters mix visual with infrared light a technique which is no longer available on film, which can now be achieved only digitally. IR-chrome, visual light, and ultraviolet spectrums are featured in Kevin’s photographs.
