marked-up darkroom prints
Cool article showing some marked-up darkroom prints. Man . . . . that is some attention to detail!! http://petapixel.com/2013/09/12/marked- … -darkroom/ Sep 12 13 07:38 pm Link Sometime it took many hours to days for one print. Gets bad when you have to cut dodge and burn masks on black paper. The scribbles become important when the clients says "Can I get another print of that?" It was also important to make two copies of every important print anyway. Sep 12 13 07:49 pm Link WOW!!! A peek into the mind of a MASTER of image making!! Sep 12 13 07:51 pm Link This is a pretty well known one from Richard Avedon...or his studio manager. http://aphelis.net/avedons-instructions/ Sep 12 13 08:10 pm Link I have a book called "the Darkroom". It shows 20 famous art photographers (Harry Callahan, Wynn Bullock and others) and how they worked in the darkroom to get their look. Nothing "straight" about any of their imagery.

Master printers were the photoshop of the masters. Film had its limits and images have always needed massaging. Great article. Sep 12 13 08:30 pm Link This is awesome Chip, thank you! Sep 12 13 08:31 pm Link Haha I mark mine as well but this is eehmmm different  Sep 13 13 06:31 am Link David Simpson Images wrote: I agree 100% People who really don't understand photography don't realize it's a "process". There is capture. Then there is process, development and print. It has ALWAYS been that way. Even a Polaroid had to be developed. But even IT could be manipulated. Sep 13 13 07:22 am Link I'm a novice at best in the DR, and still find it mind blowing just to dodge and burn, and compare one print to the next.... Sep 13 13 07:31 am Link |
