Nonsilver photographic processes open the door to unlimited creative exploration. These versatile processes will inspire both beginning and advanced photo enthusiasts to move beyond black-and-white darkroom work into the fascinating world of nonsilver technology.
this book, by artist and teacher Suda House, explains the chemistry and practice of five non-silver processes: cyanotype, vandyke, gum bichromate, Kwik-Print, and Inkodye. The author offers tips for variations and combinations of the colorful processes. The book also outlines how to experiment with electrostatic copiers, make magazine transfers, use graphic-arts film, and how to photosilkscreen. The author provides precise formulas so that you can mix all your own solutions at home. The appendix contains an extensive list of suppliers as well as diagrams for constructing useful and money-saving equipment. The color section features examples of each process that will inspire and challenge you.
Not only will this book open imaginative vistas but it will free you from the burden of the inflated cost of silver-emulsion enlarging papers. The book details how to make photographic prints on surfaces as varied as fabric, porcelain, wood, rag paper, and jewelry. Both color and monochromatic printing processes are covered in depth.
