Antiquated Photography
Summer 2024 I had the honor of participating in the CSU Summer Arts program hosted at Fresno State. Specifically, I took Process-Oriented Photography: Polaroids and Pinholes hosted by Gailan Gray and featuring guest artists Nicole Ellis, Moira McDonald and Brian Taylor.
Through this rigorous two week three-unit course, I learned a variety of antiquated photographical process which included:
Silver gelatin printing (with pinhole cameras)
Lumen printing
Gum bichromate printing
Cyanotypes
Van Dyke Brown printing
Polaroid emulsion lifts
