Well yes! None of these photos are taken with a regular camera overlaid with a lightroom or photoshop filter to look like this. I am able to utilize a camera that has a broader spectral absorption; from UV-B, through visible, and into near-infrared. By employing a filter that blocks out certain light (e.g., a filter that blocks out all blue light), a new photo that comprises of a different arrangement of light can be made out of the same scene.

Our eyes perceive a sliver of the electromagnetic spectrum. Though all of the spectrum is useful for seeing: x-ray images are true renderings of your bones, despite being completely different than how our eyes can see the world. In much the same way, I utilize infrared light (and a camera that is sensitive to that light) to compose images that render our world in a different palette.

All of these images are composed of infrared light. What differs between them is the addition of varying parts of the visible spectrum (Red, Green, or Blue) to that infrared sensitivity. Note that Albedo contains no visible light, which is why it renders the world in grayscale.

The blue prints are cyanotypes, a process through which ultraviolet light fixes a blue dye to paper where the light shines through, and rinses clear in places where it's blocked. This appeals to me as a method through which I can marry the two "shores" of light beyond our senses; a mask of infrared with an etching of ultraviolet.
