Work Call Photographic Possibilities, Third Edition
Now reviewing images utilizing alternative and classic photographic methods as part of the creation process for possible inclusion in Photographic Possibilities: The Expressive Use of Ideas, Materials and Processes, Third Edition.
In print since 1990, Photographic Possibilities provides an inspiring and reliable gateway about how photo-based imagemakers utilize analog processes to realize their visions.
All photo-based concepts and processes using an analog component in all or part of the creation process are welcome. Contemporary and non-traditional ideas and techniques will be emphasized, but classic fine art methods are most welcome. Major topics of interest include: special films and cameras; contact negative making; alternative and non-silver processes; combination and unique processes; artists books; collage, hand-altered; toning; installations and three-dimensional work; as well as analog-digital crossovers.
This revised, expanded, and full-color edition will be published and internationally distributed by Elsevier’s Focal Press and will feature chapters on:
History of Photographic Printmaking
Special Use Films and Processing
Digital Negative Making
Preparing Your Own Formulas
Black-&-White Film Developers
Printmaking: Equipment, Materials and Processes
