The Cool Warmth of Trees, shot entirely in infrared and in black & white, was born from the desire to see treescapes in the “color of warmth.” Unlike conventional black & white photos that assign drab grays to tree leaves and consign clouds to battle the sky for contrast, digital infrared photography highlights these: leaves, exuding the warmth of life, appear white, as do clouds against black skies. The ageless bark of oak trees borders the black, while bamboo, supersized grasses really, show their youth in appearing entirely white.
