As a professional photographer I have not pursued alternative processes for developing my film. There is no specific reason for abstinence. As you might guess I know quite a few people who are masters at a variety of processes: bromoil, gum-bichromate, albumen, cyanotype, kallitype, etc.After going through this book, I might need to venture out of my comfort zone. The Featured Photographer in this issue of Shadow & Light Magazine, Diana Bloomfield, uses the multi-layered gum-gum-bichromate process.“This particular process offers me real creative freedom and seems to mesh well with my images, Diana said, “which remain wholly interpretive and suggestive in nature. The repeated layerings (and the often slight mis-registrations of those layers) are meant to add a tonality and a saturated richness, yet each layer added also serves to remove all the hard, clearly defined edges and sharp clarity. A softness and ambiguity results—much the way we see and remember.”In the Introduction, Jill Enfield writes that Brady Wilks invites us not to think about alternative photography as historical techniques.“Think again, because Brady Wilks is here to tell you otherwise. Finally, a book about ALTERNATIVE ways to combine all aspects of photography and printmaking.
