GLOSSARY OF THE PROCESSES

PLATINUM PROCESS (PRINT)

Hand printed by brushing light sensitive emulsion based on platinum metal onto 100 % cotton paper and processed in traditional darkroom using a negative. Each copy is unique and is one of the most permanent and archival methods of photographic printing. Special editions of 3-10 prints.

Gum Bichromate (PRINT)

Gum printing dates back to mid 19th century & pictorialist period when role of photography as art was emphasized, using light sensitive dichromate salts & watercolor paint to produce painting-like photograpic prints via contact with large negative. Special editions of 3-10 prints.


WET COLLODION (one-OFF)

Original one-off images, made of silver and processed under red light, are produced in large format camera onto glass plates of 2-3 mm using this Victorian, craft-based method.

Photoengraving with Photopolymer Etching (INK and PRESS PRINT)

Photopolymer etching is a process that uses light-sensitive photopolymer plates to create prints on paper, using traditional ink and press approach. It is a more sustainable method that uses water soluble polymer rather then traditional acid to etch the plates, creating intaglio printing plates that can be inked and used to produce multiple copies.
