Lens Obscura Workshops

Yesterday, I was given a complementary ticket to visit the #London #Art #Fair which I was naturally very excited about. Whilst I had visited in previous years without seeing any alternative photography, this seem to have been the best year yet with walls adorned with #Photograms by #Adam #Fuss, represented by  the #Robin #Katz #Fine #art #gallery and #Susan #Derges represented by #Purdy #Hicks gallery. Both artist featured in the the #VAM: #Shadow #Catches #exhibition in 2010/2011. 

Also #tinted  #ambrotypes and #decaying #emulsion negatives by #Tessa #Traeger  also represented by #Purdy #Hicks gallery. Some beautiful #Cyanotypes by #Henriette #Mollinaro, #Tintypes #collodion #plates by #David #Gillanders  and finally a series of #pinhole #photography by #Antonia #Bruce entitled #Horse #Latitudes. So if your as passionate about alternative photography as me this is definitely the year to go to the #London #Art #Fair.

Some more images from that same reel-hand treated paper

This negative is from one of the first roll of film I ever shoot. It was backstage at my friend Makeda's gig. Hand treated paper. 

An Anna Atkinson inspired cyanotype. Hand treated paper. 

A cyanotype photogram created with hand treated paper of my little teddy. 

So your probably thinking where are these Cyanotype images.....Well at the end of last year's mission, my equipment was getting rather dirty from all the non-stop paper developing I was doing. Plus, the space in my "darkroom" needed a re-jig for this new project. So in short my cyanotypes are on their way.....
