ABSTRACT
I’ve been playing with alternative photographic processes for a few years now, mostly with cyanotype and pigment processes using ferric ammonium citrate instead of dichromate (Chiba System). I’ve also made lith prints with old and new photographic papers, as well as some chemigrams. What I’m enjoying the most with these processes is that they’re mostly handcrafted. I have nothing against digital workflows and images, but the look of “perfect” prints is simply not what I’m looking for in a process. What I dis-like the most with alternative processes is looking at my printer while it makes inkjet negatives. And, large format analog sheet films are now so expensive that I knew I’d have to try to make my own.
