Bovisium Infrarubra

I started with Infrared photography many years ago, with the great Kodak Infrared film.

Going digital I converted a Fujifilm XPro-1 to infrared with a 720nm filter. It was not an easy process to make the conversion but was a lot of fun.
Infrared can convert familiar places in something new and stimulate the brain to get out of the habits and see in a different way.

In this book, Boves, the little Italian town where I live seen in Infrared!

Photography: The F Manual

Barbano Luigi — Mon, 27 Oct 2025 16:25:45 +0000

The book contains the essential basic concepts to understand the photographic process. The author is explaining all the concepts and rules photography is based on, giving a general theory.
Luigi’s book talks about everything from f stops to file formats, the difference between JPG and TIF and how image scaling and DPI relate. His section on how camera, computer monitor and printer color calibration works is explained so well, you’ll never forget it (just think toast). It even has in-depth explanations on photo composition, HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography, depth of field, printing your images, publishing, and more.

You can buy the book on Amazon.

Lasting Photographs

“This book just kept getting better and better! Lasting Photographs follows a young pilot and his new love through their adventure in discovering what a box full of old photographs mean, what happened to the people in them, and the people who took the photos. From Florida to Italy, Morocco to Brazil, Panama to Cuba and through the decades, Lasting Photographs takes you on a journey you will never forget, a story of two romances, two pilots, two heroes. The ending brought tears to my eyes, and it will yours too. A very moving novel about love, freedom, friendship, honor, and courage.”
Dan P. Bullard – Author of The Reluctant Road Warrior

Black & White Tales

Black & White Tales, winner of the Gold Prize at the Budapest International Photo Awards, it’s the book that put together all the prints I made for the Black & White Tales Youtube project.

The idea was pretty simple: to invent something to do to not succumb at the criminal, absurd and stupid Covid lockdowns we had in Italy.
One print per week with a video explaining the photograph was my solution to the problem. At the end the project that came out evolved form Youtube to a book.

You can buy the book on Blurb and watch out for the discount Blurb often offers to the buyers.

Nim 148

Nim is the acronym of “Natural Intelligence Magazine”, 148 you have to figure it out by yourself

In a world spiraling toward Artificial Intelligence tools controlling and dominating all the aspects of our lives I felt the need to reassess the importance of the human natural intelligence.

I created Nim148 to have collections of my images in an analog form that can be enjoyed far from a display. Printed photographs allow me to have control of the photographic media from creation to the eyes of the observer. Once printed it cannot be modified and does not depend on the quality and lack of calibration of your monitor.

I decided to create monographs dedicated to different projects or aesthetic choices. Every issue has a different theme and artistic meaning. It’s not a periodic magazine, so if you want to know when a new issue will be available, subscribe to my newsletter.
