ABSTRACT

Burning, toning, split-grade printing and printing through your mother’s silk stockings are just some of the wonderful, weird and positively wacky techniques used by the traditional masters of the darkroom that are waiting to be exposed (or ripped off) in this tantalizing digital project designed to pump up the mood and ambience of the flat and downright dull. The tonality of the project image destined for the toning table will be given a split personality. Shadows and highlights will be gently blurred to add depth and character at the same time as retaining full detail for emphasis and focus. Selected colors will then be mapped to the new tonality to establish the final mood.
