Thermal Portrait (Monochrome) by kevincollins123

Thermal Portrait (Monochrome)

Since I've been doing portraits in visible, ultraviolet, and near-infrared light, I decided to do thermal infrared as well (I'd love to do X-rays too, but I don't want to give my models cancer).

Unfortunately, all thermal imagers have crap resolution (in my case, 320X240), so I came up with a method to increase resolution.

First, I record close-up video in which I pan all around a face, minimizing my movement along the Z-axis. Second, I use upressing software to enlarge the images. Third, I select a series of images that collectively cover the face. Fourth, I painstakingly merge the images in Photoshop (I tried using automation, but it failed). Fifth, I add a bit of film grain to give the portrait a more organic look at 100%. The end result is a picture that, while low in resolution, should look decent when printed.
