When Richard Mosse completed Infra 2011, he probably didn't expect that it would become one of the most celebrated works of photography, and inspire creatives to seek to paint their own works with its surreal color palette.
It was all made possible by Kodak Aerochrome, the famous false color infrared film that needs no introduction. Mosse eventually became the photographer who catapulted the film to cult status, with many citing his work as the stimulus behind their own forays into the legendary emulsion.
Fast-forward to more recent times, we came across the art of Chicago-based John Berner, who combines photography and installation in his projects. One of his early works, Paradises, was actually his thesis for his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, and was inspired by some of the photos he took in Hawaii using Kodak Aerochrome. We asked him to tell us more about how the idea for Paradises came about, as well as his discovery of the famed infrared film and the more recent snaps he shot with it. . thephoblographer.com
