J-131274: What Motts means here is that the photo was shot using infrared film and an infrared filter on the lens. I don't know if you could call that an "effect," because the camera is only capturing wavelengths the human eye can't perceive, which the film then translates into shades of gray that we can see. On the other hand, "effects" that modern digital cameras do take the visible light captured by the camera and process that data to create the desired effect.

I think what you're asking for is a shot on black and white or color film for comparison, which would have required changing film types, removing the filter, and then setting the camera back up to take the exact same shot. Unless Motts did that, there's no picture existing with "no effects" as in "what the human eye would see".

I hope that makes sense!
