1/88

PAPER NEGATIVE PORTRAITURE 
ON TRADITIONAL LARGE FORMAT CAMERAS.

PAPER NEGATIVES ARE ONE OF 
THE EARLIEST FORMS OF PHOTOGRAPHY. THE PROCESS DATES BACK  TO THE 1840s WITH EACH EXPOSURE HAND DEVELOPED IN THE DARKROOM.

INSTEAD OF USING FILM THE IMAGE IS TAKEN ON PHOTOGRAPHIC PAPER. 

PHOTO PAPER IS DIFFERENT TO FILM BECAUSE IT HAS MUCH LESS SENSITIVITY TO LIGHT. THIS GIVES PAPER NEGATIVES THEIR DISTINCTIVE LOOK.
