Richard Misrach's color reverse photographs, often referred to as his "Negative" series or Notations, involve a process where he foregrounds the digital negative as a finished work of art. This technique results in a palette of "reversed" colors—where blue skies become orange and lush greens turn into magentas—creating a surreal, otherworldly atmosphere. Misrach began this experimentation in the mid-2000s, utilizing advances in digital capture to create images with immense detail and an inverted color spectrum.
