New Dimensions in Photo Processes: A Step-by-Step Manual for Alternative Techniques (Alternative Process Photography) 5th Edition, Kindle Edition

4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 11 ratings

New Dimensions in Photo Processes invites artists in all visual media to discover contemporary approaches to historical techniques. Painters, printmakers, and photographers alike will find value in this practical book, as these processes require little to no knowledge of photography, digital means, or chemistry.

Easy to use in a studio or lab, this edition highlights innovative work by internationally respected artists, such as Robert Rauschenberg, Chuck Close, Mike and Doug Starn, and Emmet Gowin.

In addition to including new sun-printing techniques, such as salted paper and lumen printing, this book has been updated throughout, from pinhole camera and digital methods of making color separations and contact negatives to making water color pigments photo-sensitive and more.

With step-by-step instructions and clear safety precautions, New Dimensions in Photo Processes will teach you how to:

    • Reproduce original photographic art, collages, and drawings on paper, fabric, metal, and other unusual surfaces.

    • Safely mix chemicals and apply antique light-sensitive emulsions by hand.

    • Create imagery in and out of the traditional darkroom and digital studio.

    • Relocate photo imagery and make prints from real objects, photocopies, and pictures from magazines and newspapers, as well as from your digitial files and black and white negatives.

    • Alter black and white photographs, smart phone images, and digital prints.

    Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

    Blacklow combines drawing, printmaking, painting and photography to hand-make artist’s books and prints using non-traditional techniques. She often anchors pictures with text, as in her artwork about Guatemala, a country where she has volunteered with Maya and other economically marginalized youth for almost thirty years at photokidsoriginal.org

    She is the recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts Regional Fellowship for works on paper, the St. Botolph Club’s Morton C. Bradley Color Award, Polaroid Corporation’s Artist Support Program, a Research Grant from the David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies at Harvard University, and the Massachusetts Artists’ Foundation Fellowship for her hand-colored black and white photographs. Her prints and books are in the collection of Harvard’s Fogg Museum, Simmons College, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the private collections of Lucy Lippard, Sol Lewitt, and Bela Kalman, to name a few.

    For more than 30 years, Laura Blacklow taught Historical Photo Processes, Artist’s Books, Digital Photography, and Oral and Visual Story-telling at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts @ Tufts University. In the summer, you can find her in her urban, organic garden, where she also collects plants to make photographic sun prints for the portfolio, Backyard Botanicals. One print from the group is seen on the cover of the 5th edition of "New Dimensions". Since 2020, She has been making books that provide uplift with words and images in her Quarantine Project. (Representative book and print images can be seen on her website.)

      2.0 out of 5 stars Techniques are a bit hit & miss
      Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 8, 2021

      Expensive - and had hoped for clear guidance. Some of the explanations are garbled and a few of the transfer techniques don’t seem to work at all. Frustrating to (try to) follow instructions to the letter and then get such poor outcomes.

      I bought this as a refresher, I am currently working on my BFA and this has helped immensely!
