Infraland - Seeing the Unseen
Paolo
Paolo Pettigiani (b. 1991) is a photographer and art director based in Turin, Italy. After getting a degree in "Design and Visual Communication" at Politecnico in Turin, he started to explore the theme of 'seeing the unseen' which lead him to his trademark Infraland style in 2015. By using infrared photography: a fusion of science and creativity, a play on colors, shapes and contrasts in order to question reality as we see it Infraland was born.
Infraland
Paolo uses converted camera with the full spectrum along with some external filters to capture the invisible electromagnetic radiation of the infrared light which wavelengths are reflected by chlorophyll and not visible by the human eye. With Infraland, a photographic-artistic-social project, Paolo wants to put nature in the foreground, by emphasizing its hidden colors, which cannot be seen by the human eye.
How it Works
The human eye can see wavelengths from about 400nm-750nm (the classic rainbow); infrared is the light beyond 750nm. IR photography can be done with either infrared film, or a digital camera, and typically involves near infrared light from 590nm to 1200nm range. The leaves of trees contain pigments such as chlorophyll, which absorb the main part of the blue and the red range of visible light but strongly reflect the green and infrared light, which is invisible to the human eye.

NYA-EVO - My Organized Carry Solution
With the Fjord 60-C with RCI-L I can say that I have finally found a photographic backpack that fit all my needs for my long trips, hiking and photographic adventures. The backpack is lightweight and the first and most important thing I noticed was that it fits perfectly on my back and I use it for 8 hours hiking without any problems or additional issue. With the RCI-L storage I can bring with me the drone, a camera, 4 lens without problems and the other pockets are perfectly designed to fit any other tool and accessories in addiction of the laptop and the tablet. I’m not joking… this is the best ever photographic backpack in terms of storage, comfort and security!
As photographer and snowboard instructor I’m sure the Fjord with his high weather resistance will save my gear also on extreme winters situations! Can’t wait to use it on my next adventures!
