During the summer of 2009 I set out to put together an invisible light camera which would allow me to shoot human subjects in dark places with a flash, and not stun them with the flash pulse. It took me a while to get the kinks worked out, but in the end I managed to modify an Olympus XA2 for this use. This gallery is here to showcase the work I've created since completing the modifications to the Olympus XA2 and also with my infrared flash modified Leica M6
If you are wishing to create one of these yourself, I've complied all my research into a simple tutorial about infrared flash photography with an Olympus XA2. Check it out.

The Man in a BoxOctober 2009 - A Super Mario coin box that is. I wonder if I could have gotten a gold coin had I went up and punched him?
