Iceland, with its extreme landscapes, jagged lava fields and Northern
Lights, is arguably one of the most photogenic countries in the world.
So it’s no surprise that over half a million tourists flock there every
year to shoot the landscape. But UK-based photographer Andy Lee,
on his first visit to the country, came back with a series of photos
titled “Blue Iceland” that captured the waterfalls, peaks and roads in,
literally, a whole new light.
Using infrared photography to pick up
invisible light rather than visible light, Lee transformed Iceland into a
series of stark, moody and somewhat dreamlike silhouettes. At times the
austere rock formations and glowing waterfalls almost appear to be
painted. You can see much more of Lee’s work over on his portfolio site.
In the words of Lee himself, “Infrared and Iceland, a match made in
heaven.” (via PetaPixel)
