Thermography

SWPP Photographic Glossary

Thermography is a photographic technique that records images based on the heat radiated from a subject rather than visible light. Special thermal cameras detect infrared radiation, allowing the creation of images that reveal temperature variations across the scene.

Thermography is widely used in scientific, industrial, and medical applications, such as detecting heat leaks, monitoring equipment, or assessing human body temperature. In photography, understanding thermography allows photographers and technicians to capture unique visual information that is invisible to the naked eye, opening up creative and practical possibilities.
