New Dimensions in Photo Imaging A Step-by-step Manual

Setting aside old distinctions between photographer and non-photographer, New Dimensions in Photo Imaging invites artists in all media to discover non-silver imaging techniques. Painters, printmakers, fiber artists, sculptors, illustrators and photographers alike will find this a valuable, practical text outlining creative processes that require little or no knowledge of photography and chemistry. Clear instructions and step-by-step photographs teach you how to mix chemicals and apply light-sensitive mulsions by hand, how to create imagery in and out of the darkroom, how to translocate Polaroid photos and magazine and newspaper pictures, and how to alter black-and-white photographs. A color portfolio highlights the work of internationally known artists such as Robert Rauschenberg, Todd Walker, Bea Nettles and Robert W Fichter, and an invaluable list of supply sources from throughout North America and Europe is included at the end of the book.
