After the Storm......from the Neverland Collection

Continuing with this series of Infrared photographs of the landscape images that make up the Neverland Collection. This was shot in Sydney Park after a wild electical storm had lashed the smooth little hills that make up the framework of this completely artifical and totally man made park on the edge of Newtown in Sydney. The darkening shadows cast long fingers over the walkers dotted on the low sinuous hill in the background. This chiaroscuro rendering of the landscape makes this image more painterly to me that something purely photographic and this is further enhanced by the deep and luscious grain that IR film gives as its trademark effect…... within the darkness there is always a little light to be found….

Hell’s donkeys, Juilee, this is a powerful shot. Normally don’t go a bundle on IR (probably because of tendency to show a palette washed out greys), but this appeals to me.
Juilee Pryor replied

thanks Duncan I’m really trying to go somewhere with this series…. and eventually as exhibition prints they will be really large which should emphasis the latent simmering power in the landscape…... and I know what you mean about the washed out look of IR ….. mostly people never take it beyond the ‘tricks’ it does….. glad you like it…..:)

Beautiful, Juilee. The light is amazing. If this was in Kansas, I’d still be worried about those clouds.
Juilee Pryor replied

thanks Patricia your comments as allways are so valued….. and welcome….:)

F… and double F… JP! This is gotta be a paradigm for the lusciousness of what IR photography is about. Super tasty.
Juilee Pryor replied

thanks Col…. yes for sure…. I really love the way IR film can let you right into something that seems to be going on underneath the surface of the landscape somehow….. glad you like it…..:)

Normally I’m not a fan of IR; but I have to say that this totally does it for me. Yes, it is the light, the chiaroscuro, that nails it for me. It has a real Ansel Adams feel. I love the light, and the graininess. Your work is quite stunning, and right up my alley. Keep ‘em coming, Juilee! Cheers! Chris
Juilee Pryor replied

hey lonebear …you just hit the nail right on the head… Ansel Adams is one of my all time favorites and he was the guy who poineered the use of IR film in landscape photography…. and like him I choose to ignore the ‘tricks’ and try and take it a bit deeper…. so glad you like the image…..:)
