DOC.01What defines this style

White foliage and a dark sky turn daylight into a surreal photograph.

Infrared photography records wavelengths beyond visible red, rendering chlorophyll bright and skies unusually dark. False-color processing can shift skin, wood and vegetation into dreamlike hues while retaining true photographic texture and anatomy.

Use it for

  • Surreal travel portraits
  • Experimental album art
  • Fine-art photography projects

Practical notes

  1. Ask Gemini to brighten foliage without whitening eyes or teeth.
  2. Use Stable Diffusion masks to separate vegetation from skin during false-color edits.
  3. Keep the sky detailed enough that it does not become a flat black cutout.
