PAINTING WITH DEV

This studio portrait was taken when this young lady was only three years old. She is now a grown-up beautiful young lady with twin girls of her own. It's one of my great nieces by the way.  It's a monochrome photographic print. It was given the correct timed exposure under the enlarger.  Instead of then fully immersing the print in a tray of photographic developer (as you would normally do). I then mixed up the developer and water at the correct temperature.

Then this mixture was poured into a simple empty and cleaned plastic bottle (with a suction hose and a nozzle head trigger) and then the developer was sprayed randomly onto the photographic print. Then put it in a tray with stop bath solution and then a tray of fixer, and then washed thoroughly before drying.

It was for the City & Guilds 9231 Certificate in the Image Derivation module I did at Hull Community Artworks back in 1993.
