Optical Filters

True Color IR has been making optical filters since 2021, exploring the distinctive colours and tonal responses of infrared photography.

Designed for artists and digital creators, our filters offer different ways to work with visible and near-infrared light — from JPEGs made directly in camera to RAW files shaped through editing.

03 / THE GLASS

High quality
glass

Selected wavelengths create unique photographic effects. Bonded elements produce high quality images with low transmitance loss and low chromatic aberration.

Below, the joined elements have no air gap and selectively transmit schematic electromagnetic bands. The illustration is conceptual and does not specify a measured spectrum.

04 / SOOC — STRAIGHT OUT OF CAMERA

Straight out
of camera

Set your white balance in camera and shoot JPEG. Upload your photos exactly as they come out of the camera. Keep RAW files too when you want the freedom to edit.

Straight out of camera — JPEG sharing and optional RAW editingSet white balance in camera first. The main workflow connects an SD card to a JPEG photograph and then a cloud upload, with no editing step. A separate optional branch retains a RAW file for editing.
