Unearthed Infrared film from the negative files. 🎞️✨
Yup. The first b/w shots are infrared.
When I look back at my work for my upcoming book
Legendario Act II, it’s sessions like this one with the Mystidious Misfitss that remind me why I pushed the boundaries. Signed to Sony at the time for their album A Who Dat?, these brothers were experts in front of my lens—Not only they were rappers they had a BBoys and Breakdancing background so every move was intentional.
Because they were so dynamic, I decided to go experimental. For the heads who love the craft, here is why these shots look like they’re from another dimension.
The Infrared Film
I was shooting Black & White Infrared film. In the 90s, this was a technical nightmare that most photographers wouldn't touch:
The Loading Struggle: This film was so sensitive that I had to load and unload the camera in a changing bag or a pitch-black room. If even a sliver of light hit the canister, the whole roll was "fogged" and ruined.
White Leaves (The Wood Effect):
Notice the trees? Chlorophyll in plants reflects infrared light rather than absorbing it, turning green leaves into a glowing, snowy white.
Midnight Skies:
The sky absorbs infrared radiation, which is why a bright afternoon in Brooklyn looks like midnight in these photos.
Ghostly Vibe:
Infrared light penetrates the skin slightly before reflecting back, giving the guys that smooth, porcelain skin and those intense, piercing dark pupils.
⏳ Capturing the Kinetic
For the color shots, I used slow shutter speeds during a golden hour sunset. It allowed me to "paint" with their dance movements, keeping their forms sharp while the light trailed behind them.
My book isn't just about the hits; it’s about the soul of the photography and the technical risks we took to make the culture look legendary.
The last slide the album cover my photo was collaged with legendary visual artist @beingmarcecko- a historic collaboration to say the least.
The vault is officially open. 📖
