Description
Photography is often thought of as traditional black and white darkroom techniques or digital imaging. In this study three alternative photographic processes were explored: pinhole photography, the Vandyke printing process, and the manipulation of Polaroid transfers. Unlike conventional photography, these works were created using unique picture taking techniques, altered in various ways after the photograph had been taken, and printed on special chemically altered paper. After the exploration of these separate techniques, ideas were combined to create final photographic works of art for each of the three methods.
