Abstract
This thesis studies the impact of the adoption of infrared imaging as artistic means in photographic practice. Infrared imaging is represented by various technologies such as infrared films, digital infrared photography, and thermography. Every type of infrared imaging is examined through the analysis of various photographic projects in chronological order according to technology development. The main features of artistic borrowings of different imaging technologies are interpreted and summarized in each chapter, and major hallmarks and aspects are compared and analyzed in the conclusion. The thesis reveals that the infrared image, when adopted by photographers, provides unique visuality, profoundly modifies photographic practice, and enables new ways of creating, reading, and understanding of photographic works.
