Throughout this unit I would like to be able to experiment with different darkroom techniques and processes in the hopes to produce final outcomes in which are eye-catching, detailed, and showcase the techniques I have utilised. I would also like for my outcomes to meet my intended audience of late teens /adults as this is the age bracket in which I believe is a more suitable range that could be interested in darkroom prints, especially if they appreciate such photographic skills.

The use of the darkroom techniques that I used such as dodging, burning and solarization have been strongly justified in communicating elaborate/strong/eye-catching concepts to my intended target audience of adults, through their equal ability in allowing the composition placements to stand out, the colour usage to be interesting, and the powerful contrasts in light and dark shadowing/tones to be enhanced. I showcased my final outcomes to my family members of different ages, and they all deduced that my prints incorporated strong darkroom technique/process inclusion, alongside them being full of contrast, and striking. They all agreed that my final outcomes whether looked at individually or together, are all successful In meeting my target audience of teens/adults, and definitely comply with what I wanted to achieve throughout this unit which was to produce a range of different prints that are eye-catching and strong, whilst experimenting with different darkroom techniques and processes.

I used photoshop to edit my prints onto the walls of different rooms to get an idea as to what they would like on a larger scale wallpaper layout, and overall I am really pleased with how they came out. I specifically used the polygon lasso tool to highlight the sections of the print that i wanted to hide behind the print layer, such as chairs and beds. To physically see my prints edited as wallpaper indicates to me how well they fit my theme as they are all striking, eye catching, and intriguing. It has also been made clear to me that they all work individually or as repeated patterns, and that they work well both in a large space or a small room.

Tetra Pak is a Swedish multinational food processing and packaging company in which was founded by Ruben Rausing in 1943. The Tetra Pak printing process didn’t become as well known until the 21st century where the prints have been utilised from the packaging (often through advertisements of the Tetra Pak brand) to create intriguing prints.

Emulsion transfer process and my prints 

# data[].attributes.body
Emulsion transfer was first used in Italy in a few maiolica pieces from Turin, mix print with painted elements. In England, the earliest use of transfer printing was at Birmingham around 1751, where it was presumed to have been used on enamels. Like many of the print making techniques, emulsion transfer has developed with time and been remastered/reinvented in so many different ways and used for a multitude of creations like wallpaper, pottery, designs, copying, logos, etc.

These are some photographs that were taken of us creating our cyanotypes.

# data[].attributes.body
The Cyanotype was invented in 1842 by John Herschel. The cyanotype is a photographic printing process that produces a cyan-blue print. Engineers used the process well into the 20th century as a simple and low-cost process to produce copies of drawings, referred to as blueprints. The process uses two chemicals: ferric ammonium citrate and potassium ferricyanide.

In the 1880’s, Sepia was produced by adding a pigment made from Sepia Officinalis Cuttlefish which was found in the English Channel, then into the positive print of a photograph. This chemical process carried out on silver-based photographic prints has also evolved over the years, however it’s not as coming as other darkroom techniques, which could be due to its difficulty, time constraints, or even that it has been over shone by the modern day/contemporary approach of digitally editing imagery.

Spray and brush developer are both contemporary techniques of developing film, in which have been brought to life in the early 20th century. They are both contemporary darkroom techniques that showcase the final print in a more unusual/less obvious way in which can make an interesting photograph.

Photograms were first invented by William Henry Fox Talbot (an English inventor born in 1800 in Dorset). He was originally frustrated by his failed attempts to sketch scenery whilst at Lake Como in 1833, and so he began working on an invention that could produce sketches automatically. A photograms is summarised as a means in which the light and shade falls on a surface and how this may be automatically caught and preserved with the assistance of a strong light source and a substance that would react to the light.

Film processing has come a long way since the early 19th century. Film processing history has included several changes in techniques in which have allowed for processes, alterations, and enhancements easier and quicker. By the 1960s, technology hadn’t caught up with the customer demand for prints, and so one entrepreneur decided to open (Fotomat) the first location in 1965 in San Diego that provides convenient/relatively quick photo processing. This was a great success which progressed all over the world and has evolved with time.
