To use a little canon... to take magical photos (which Colin is doing 
a lot) you develope the film differently\treat it with something 
magical. For all we know non-red light has no effect on such a 
processing method.  Especially as these photo's seem to not just 
capture the reflected light of the person\thing photographed but also 
something of its essence (hence the waving\hiding\sleeping of those 
in the pictures).  Exposing this captured essance to light would not 
seem to effect it.
