    A Graphic Mashup I’ve been very busy designing. I’ve been revisiting techniques I’ve talked about before for example, kaleidoscopic images, glitch art, 3D computer graphics, and fractals. As well as synthesizing these techniques to create new concepts. I’ve been exploring a new fascination with color gradients, as well as revisiting some old projects like my…

    Infrared Photography Infrared photography is the process of making photographic impressions on a medium that is sensitive to infrared light. Human visual perception lies in the range of 400 – 700 nanometer wavelength. Infrared light is beyond human perception in the 700 nanometer to 1 millimeter wave length. When we take infrared photographs it gives…
