Photographing protests and demonstrations in infrared was just as symbolic as photographing the supporters in infrared. The images show characteristics of the people and their environment in a way that you will never be able to see with the human eye. They camouflage clothing color and hair color, offering an opportunity to see commonality throughout all of the subjects.

At the same time, on a more introspective level, the photographs highlight the fact that while many of Donald Trump’s supporters felt invisible to the concerns of mainstream politicians, those who oppose Trump and are protesting in the streets now feel that same invisibility.

Truly capturing the forces that brought so many people together, on either side, might not be possible, but looking at the world through the filter of infrared helped me see things I might have otherwise missed.
