# Infrared Landscape Photos The 'Rome in Infrared' Series Photographs the City With a Pink Filter By Hayley McGlone | Published 2016-07-27 | World Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rome-in-infrared References: [fubiz.net](http://www.fubiz.net/en/2016/07/26/rome-pictures-seen-surreal-infrared-landscapes/?utm_source=feedly&utm_medium=webfeeds) & [whudat.de](http://www.whudat.de/rome-in-infrared-surreal-infrared-landscapes-by-hungarian-photographer-milan-racmolnar/) Hungarian photographer Milán Rácmolnár wished to captured Rome in another light with his 'Rome in Infrared' series. Rácmolnár converted his old model of a [Nikon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nikons-vintage-popup-diner) D3200 into an [infrared camera](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fossibot-f113). Rácmolnár wanted to use the infrared to capture the city in a different perspective, and because of this he was "able to give the series a somewhat peculiar look." The series captures various aspects of the Italian city, from tourist attractions to everyday locations. A closed merry-go-round looks otherworldly through the infrared filter, making all the bushes pink and all the detailing at the top appearing more delicate through the pink lens. Some of the photos are more subtle with the infrared filter, such as the photos taken at the [Trevi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trevi-fountain-model) fountain and in St. Peter's Square. Rome in Infrared seems like an urban twist on Richard Mosse's infrared photo series of the Congo. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 43% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Travel](https://www.trendhunter.com/travel) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Infrared Photography:** Rising trend of using Infrared photography to capture places and objects in a different perspective using specialized cameras. - **Alternative Perspective Photography:** New trend of using unconventional camera filters and lenses to create alternative perspectives of well-known locations. - **Color-shifting Filters:** The trend of using color filters to transform photographs into pink or other unnatural colors. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Photography:** Photography industry can leverage the trend of infrared photography and offer specialized camera and filters to capture unique perspectives. - **Tourism:** Tourism can utilize alternative perspective photography to market destinations in a new and enticing light. - **Art and Design:** Artists and designers can experiment with color-shifting filters and use them to create unique artwork and designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Agriculturally Inspired Art Projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/farming-photographs.md) - [Converted Palazzo Circular Spas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/six-senses-rome.md) - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md) - [Ancient Rome-Inspired Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/romana.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Lively Transformed Vibrant Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-buondelmonti.md) - [Futuristic Baroque Rome Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/romeo-hotel-roma.md) - [Festive Rome-Themed Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/festive-romethemed-experiences.md) - [Sleek Analog Film Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lomoapparat.md)
