The first time I shot her it was bright red. I think this time it might have been blue - there's a Polaroid of her in the same outfit in the Alternative Processes gallery and it looks purple, but I know the colour is pretty distorted on that shot as the film was 4 years expired. I expected the heavily treated hair to be very IR reflective. Brown hair usually renders lighter when shooting HIE, but not as light as this shot. If you compare Runed Glow and Infrared Sunshine in the Infrared gallery with Blast Radius and Dreams of Alice in the People gallery respectively you'll see how the same model looks in infrared and visible light.

What color is her hair? I'm going to shoot someone with dark brown hair and I was wondering what the infrared would do to her hair.. The photo looks great. What color is her hair?
