The Last Color of the Day

 

I spent an afternoon at Yuko-En Japanese Garden photographing the trees, pond, paths, and quieter corners. Through infrared light, the foliage took on warm orange tones, and the sky became a deeper blue. I kept returning to the water. The trees above the pond and their reflections below seemed like two versions of the same place, meeting at the surface. These photographs share what made me stop and look again.

 

Small island of reeds reflected in still, dark water beneath a shadowed sky.
Where the Quiet Gathers

 

Black and white photograph of a wooden footbridge on a grassy bank above a stone retaining wall, with its reflection in the still pond below. Lily pads float at the left edge, and shrubs and trees fill the background.
The Bridge That Waits

 

A curved path crosses a pale garden beneath bright foliage and dark branches, with a cool blue tone.
Under a Blue Canopy

The Stones Lead Home

 

Infrared black and white photograph of a worn dirt path curving through bright grass toward a stand of large trees with pale, glowing foliage, under a dark, cloudy sky at a Japanese garden in Kentucky.
The Way Already Walked

A Path Through Winter’s Light

 

I’m Dan Urban, a photographer and visual craftsman who travels full time with my wife, Tracey. I photograph real places using light beyond what our eyes can see. Infrared is one of the tools I use, but the place and the moment that catches my attention come first. When I see a photograph, I can picture the finished image before I press the shutter. I then work with the color and atmosphere to bring that image to life.
