photoshop bjorn

Feb/2013 10:00 – 12:00

Photoshop session with Bjorn Veno.
 This session went back over the re-touching session we’d previously had.
 This session was really useful, with each workshop my confidence grows and my enthusiasm to delve into the digital world increases.

This was a really fun and simple process that created an interesting effect. I will collect the dried images and scan the better ones for posting here tomorrow. The chemical solution is applied in two layers (dried between applications) and then a neg or acetate is affixed to the surface (emulsion to emulsion). Exposure is achieved by placing the paper and neg under glass and exposing it to UV light. Exposure time was about 20 minutes on a UV bed. The chemicals are then washed off in water and the prints left to dry. Paper is usually a water-colour type, but any paper that can take the chemical and survive the wash can be used.
