Open Theme nominee

The Strange Series is a study of experimental infrared photography. This series of pictures was created with the help of a modified full spectrum camera that enabled me to capture the combination of visible light and infrared light. The combination of both spectrums made it possible to create pictures with unusual, unfamiliar or peculiar colour renditions that still have a touch of reality to them.

Strange colours. Strange shapes. Strange objects. A strange combination of nature & colour. This pictorial series of infrared photos is a visual representation of the strange times we are currently facing.

Strange times that don't feel like reality. But still are.

Roland Kraemer (b. 1996, DE) is a landscape photographer and visual artist based in Munich, Germany.

Born and raised in southern Germany Roland always had a strong connection to nature, which later in his life lead to a photographic passion in documenting nature. Always on the search for interesting compositions, patterns and objects that represent the beauty in the simple.

His work focuses on the abstract in nature. In his pictures he showcases parts of nature in an artistic way that normally tend to be overlooked. Parts of nature that show their beauty on a second glance. Roland tries walking the fine line between nature & technology as he enjoys including experimental technologies in his work like infrared cameras & augmented reality.
