Lumen Printing
Photography is not just about using a camera. There are numerous alternative processes for making images and most of them date back many centuries and are seeing a resurgence in popularity, alt processes are the new black so to speak. This is a lumen print, I take out of date photographic printing paper and find plant life and then sandwich the sample between the paper and a mylar sheet then enclose it in a contact printing frame and leave it in the sun for a few hours. I check it occasionally and when I am happy with the result I take the image to the laundry, give it a rinse then scan it and colour adjust it. This is the end result. Colour varies depending on the plant, the exposure and the paper. Kid friendly and so easy to do and the results speak for themselves.
