THE BOOK OF ALTERNATIVE PHOTOGRAPHIC PROCESSES: 3RD EDITION
Written by internationally acclaimed artist and photographer Christopher James, THE BOOK OF ALTERNATIVE PHOTOGRAPHIC PROCESSES: 3rd Edition is the definitive text for students and professionals studying alternative photographic processes and the art of hand-made photographic image making. This innovative Third Edition brings the medium up to date with new and historic processes that are integrated with the latest contemporary innovations, adaptations, techniques, and art work. This 800 page edition is packed with more than 700 exquisite illustrations featuring historical examples as well as the art that is currently being made by professional alternative process, artists, teachers, and students of the genre. The third edition is the complete and comprehensive technical and aesthetic resource exploring and delving into every aspect of alternative photographic process photography. Each chapter introduces the history of a technique, presents an overview of the alternative photographic process that will be featured, reviews its chemistry, and provides practical and easy to follow guidance in how to make it work. In his conversational writing style, James also explores the idiosyncrasies, history, and cultural connections that are such a significant part of the history of photography. Featuring traditional and digital contact negative production as well as an array of processes, spread out over 28 chapters, THE BOOK OF ALTERNATIVE PHOTOGRAPHIC PROCESSES: 3RD EDITION delivers clear instructions, practical workflows and advice, humor, history, art, and immeasurable inspiration.
The workshops at Dublin Studio are very flexible and run for as many days as you want them to…covering the material and processes that are of specific interest to you. They are also designed to be compatible with your level of knowledge whether it be starting from the very beginning with creating digital negatives for contact printing to off-the-path advanced experiments where the outcome is unknown. I am also offering dedicated portfolio reviews, text editing for book and exhibition and educational course - program development as unique workshops or in combination with process and craft. These may be both in-person and / or remote.
