Photographer Pierre-Louis Ferrer shows viewers the beauty of France in a whole new light, shooting the country in beautiful infrared. Ferrer’s images are as enchanting as they are intriguing, displaying a whole new variation of color in shrubs, grass and trees, as well as famous landmarks. In some of Ferrer’s works, the foliage is an eye-catching canary yellow – a stark contrast to the more normal shades in the remainder of the images. In other works, whole forests glow red, giving the French countryside an otherworldly look. (Photo by Pierre-Louis Ferrer/Caters News Agency)

Traveling the country, Ferrer shot several miniseries in this medium: “Red Pines”, in the Alps; “Golden Perigord”, in the southwest of France, and his latest, “Invisible Paris”, in the nation’s capital. (Photo by Pierre-Louis Ferrer/Caters News Agency)





Ferrer said: “I really like the fact that I can reveal an alternative reality, which is physically real but that we cannot see with our eyes”. (Photo by Pierre-Louis Ferrer/Caters News Agency)





Ferrer added: “I also like the dreamy effect given by this technique, and the importance given to nature thanks to the properties of foliage”. (Photo by Pierre-Louis Ferrer/Caters News Agency)





While this has meant creating large collection of shots, Ferrer said that he only selected about 50 works for the public’s eyes so far. (Photo by Pierre-Louis Ferrer/Caters News Agency)
