New Dimensions in Photo Imaging: A Step by Step Manual by Laura Blacklow (School of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University's Carpenter Center for the Arts)
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.
