The purple reeds

The lake in a Riom park, on the edge of town, not in the center. We were walking, and I said to my sweetheart, "Wait, don't move, there's something here." This path through the reeds. That's how I am: I take the photo, and we'll see later. I have quite a stock, and I bring them out when the time is right.

I have always been fascinated by infrared photography. I have never bought or downloaded a single filter: I have been working with color in Lightroom for over fifteen years, and by constantly tweaking the settings, I created my own custom presets. Three "infrared" colors on Lightroom Mobile, which took me six or seven years. I stay in my own bubble; I don't copy what others are doing. When I started, there was no artificial intelligence: you had to figure it all out yourself.

Here, it's a lot of color work, without ever really touching the curves. I don't need too many things. And the details are still there. Photo by MrDéclenche.
