Book of Alternative Photographic Processes (02 - Old Edition)by Christopher James
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Photographic artists and students of alternative process photography will welcome this new edition of Christopher James' The Book of Alternative Photographic Processes. This significantly expanded edition is a full-color, lavishly illustrated, comprehensive resource that explores every aspect of alternative process image making. With his highly conversational writing style, Christopher James explores the techniques, processes, idiosyncrasies, history, and cultural connections that are such a significant part of the genre. Best of all, Christopher makes it extremely accessible, providing clear instructions and practical workflow advice. The book delves into a vast menu of alternative and traditional options, among them: calotype, salted paper, cyanotype, argyrotype, chrysotype, POP, kallitype, ambrotype/wet collodion, Van Dyke, platinum/palladium, Ziatype, gelatin dry plate emulsions, carbon, gum bichromate, albumen, hand-applied emulsions, paper, alternative imaging systems, and digital negative production for alternative process image making. The Book of Alternative Photographic Processes has become the unanimous standard reference text for alternative process photography, one that students love to read and work from. Not only does this definitive work make the most complex ideas easy to understand, it is conversational, comfortable, inspirational, and fun to read- a tremendous resource and a treasure trove of alternative process images. Book News Annotation:Including his own work among that of featured photographic artists,
James (Art Institute of Boston) explores contemporary and traditional
innovative alternative and non-silver processes in a conversational,
opinionated manner. He overviews historical development and options
for the pinhole camera, the negative, digital art forms, plastic
cameras, and specific processes (e.g., cyanotype, kallitypes, image
transfer). Appends information on safety, unit conversions, setup for
a UV exposure unit and workspace, curriculum/workshop inventory,
material and Internet resources. ^^^^
Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Review:"The first edition was a stunning achievement, and one I felt that was not likely to be superceded. Five short years later Christopher James has created a very new work and a new standard. The Book of Alternative Photographic Processes: 2nd Edition is, by far, the best alternative photographic process book ever!" - Richard Sullivan, Founder and Co-Owner, BostickandSullivan Review:"As bit strings take over our photographic being - if not our lives - we need, more than ever, this playful and inspiring manual. James cheerfully and effectively instructs us, whether we are novice or adept, in the alchemical arts of transmuting our expressive photographic images, both digital and analogue, into hand-crafted prints which will forever bear our individual marks." - Dr. Mike Ware, Author of over 50 publications on alternative process, history, process and preservation. Review:"If I could only have one photography book this would be it." - Tim Whelan Photographic Books Synopsis:Photographic artists and students of alternative process photography will welcome this new edition of Christopher James' The Book of Alternative Photographic Processes.
