Infrared

This image is from a series of images shot by Richard Mosse using film developed for military use. The film was originally intended to identify sites for bombing, as structures and human objects are exempt from the bright pink hue the film assigns to vegetation. This would allow for easy identification of targets otherwise blent in with dense foliage. Mosse's Infra work brings light to violence, covering strife in war ravaged Congo.
The film, Kodak Aerochrome, can be developed with same E-6 process as the color slide film.
