| Book Description | The Experimental Darkroom is a book focused on traditional black & white photographic materials―darkroom chemistry and silver gelatin paper―now used in many non-traditional ways. The book starts with a comprehensive digital negatives chapter. Topics are divided into five sections: cameraless experimentation, camera experimentation, printing experimentation, finished print experimentation, and a section highlighting contemporary photographers who use these approaches today. Each process under discussion is accompanied by photographic examples and a step-by-step method written in a “Just the facts, ma’am” style.Topics included are:Photograms and clichés verreLumen printsChemigramsPinhole and zoneplateHolgasChromoLiquid emulsion and modern tintypeLith printingSabattierMordançageBleaching and bleachoutToning, traditional to experimentalApplied color and abrasion toneEncaustic, photomontage, and collageBromoilThe Experimental Darkroom encourages taking risks and having fun. Over 400 images and 71 artists are included in its 276 pages. The outcome will be an expansion of creative options for the silver gelatin print. The options are engaging and now more accessible with digital negatives. Images are no longer solely captured in camera or on analog film. The darkroom is no longer always dark. The print is no longer a pristine and accurate rendition of what the camera sees. Photographers are pushing the boundaries of black & white photographic practice. It is an exciting time to get into the darkroom and play! |
