Landscapes: Honorable Mention 2024 (amateur)
Joshua Tree National Park rock formations by Steven Cheadle (United States)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Rock formations with dramatic shadows in Joshua Tree National Park, California, USA, captured with a 720nm infrared camera. Infrared photography heightens contrast and deepens the color of the sky.
AUTHOR
I own Bolide Photo and travel the US and abroad to capture atmospheric and cinematic photos in infrared.
In my photography, I prioritize authenticity. I capture what is really there, even if it is not visible to the human eye. In that way, I am a photojournalist.
In turn, I use minimal post processing: essential lighting and contrast adjustments, and customary color shifts common to infrared photo work.
Shots are not staged, and I do not remove or add anything to a shot - images are presented just as they are found.
I am at home in Washington DC, where he lives with his husband and two cats.
