Alternative Photography

Alternative processes of printing photography refer to non-traditional methods of creating photographic prints, often emphasizing handcrafted techniques.

• A chemigram is an abstract photographic image created by applying chemicals directly to light-sensitive paper, the process combines artistic techniques with the unpredictability of chemical reactions.
• A photogram is a camera-less photographic technique where objects are placed directly onto light-sensitive paper and exposed to light, creating silhouettes or shadow-like images.
• A pinhole photograph is captured using a simple, lens-free camera with a tiny hole that allows light to project an image onto a light-sensitive surface.
• Cyanotype is a historic photographic printing process that uses exposing coated paper or fabric to sunlight and rinsing it in water to develop the image to create images with a distinctive blue tone.
