The Experimental Darkroom is a book focused on traditional black & white photographic materials—darkroom chemistry and silver gelatin paper—now used in many non-traditional ways. The book starts with a comprehensive digital negatives chapter. Topics are divided into five sections: cameraless experimentation, camera experimentation, printing experimentation, finished print experimentation, and a section highlighting contemporary photographers who use these approaches today.Each process under discussion is accompanied by photographic examples and a step-by-step method written in a “Just the facts, ma’am” style.Topics included are:Photograms and clichés verreLumen printsChemigramsPinhole and zoneplateHolgasChromoLiquid emulsion and modern tintypeLith printingSabattierMordançageBleaching and bleachoutToning, traditional to experimentalApplied color and abrasion toneEncaustic, photomontage, and collageBromoilThe Experimental Darkroom encourages taking risks and having fun.Over 400 images an
