#DIY

In this video, I demonstrate how to make photographic prints at home using daylight. The processes I am using here are the "lumen" and "chemigram" processes which you can find out about more here:

You can buy materials here:

Developer, Fixer, Photographic Paper: https://www.silverprint.co.uk/
Ebay is also a great place to find expired/fogged photographic paper.
Ilford Multigrade Resin Coated (RC) is a good paper to start with.

You can also print a negative on acetate/transparent material, to create a lumen print with a digital photograph. See here:    • How To Make A Lumen Print From A Digital N...  

I am, by no means, an expert on these processes but I wanted to show how easy it is to make photographic prints at home during these difficult times. A version of this video was originally made in place of a workshop for my photography students who were not able to attend my class in the darkroom.

To find out about a master chemigram artist, you can watch a video about Pierre Cordier, produced by the Victoria & Albert Museum in London.

I am also the founder and co-director of the London Alternative Photography Collective, which promotes the use of analogue and experimental photographic processes. You can see our website here: http://www.londonaltphoto.com/

P.S. No offence to "traditional darkroom nerds", I am one too. ;)
