Infra, a wonderland?
I remember seeing a series of pictures last year with pink landscapes and writing it off as fake and over-photoshopped. However upon discovering artist Richard Mosse's series Infra I realised there was so much more to these images then the representations of colour.
Richard Mosse is born in Ireland, 1980 but now resides in NY, USA working as an artist.
This series called Infra uses an absolute military surveillance technology to capture ongoing conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo. It is a type of Infared colour film called Kodak Aerochrome primarily used to render spectrums of light beyond the human eyes capabilities. The hues captured are translated into a terrain of lavender, crimson and hot pink.
These photographs were taken in his journeys to Congo between 2010-11. During this time he would approach rebel groups to capture their image and switch allegiances through the progression of his work.
The narrative within the work is expressed through a colossal of visual hues that tell a tale more complicated than what the human eye can tell.
The following images are from Intra, 2010-2011 all by Richard Mosse

Dip Dye Hair
Dip-Dye, Ombre Dye hair has been such a trend this season... but it was around way before it became popular. It started out more as dyed hair that has overgrown it's "touch up" phase. This worn in, bohemian grunge look can be adopted by anyone really! I pulled some examples I found one night... Inspiration for what I want to do with my boring ol' hair.
This is probably the easiest version of the bunch to do! As you can kind of tell... her hair is bleached lightly at the tips to mid length giving it a orange/burnt tone.
Rachel Bilson is definitely my favourite of the bunch! It's sophisticated and the two-toned layering of dark-almost raven coloured hair is lighted with lowlights and blonde tips. It's not really dip-dye... more like a bridge between the DIY'ness of Ombre hair as opposed to expensive salon highlited/lowlighted tresses.
I have done this to both my hair and a couple other's before... through my trial and error I hope you can learn from well.. my mistakes!
Will post results later in the week (: !
