Photo emulsion3/7/2023 ![]() The wood and butcher knife I used were both coated with a glossy polyurethane varnish, but as you can see on the butcher knife, some of it was chipped off before the printing process. Do not use water based coatings, acrylic gesso, aerosol sprays, satin or matte varnishes, oil paints, damar varnish lacquer, or shellac, as they may be softened by the chemicals used in the darkroom.įor Glass and glazed ceramics, polyurethane can also be used, but for better results, a gelatin pre-coat or traditional photographic "subbing" solution will help fuse the Liquid Light to the surface. For other materials, such as wood and metal, an oil-based pre-coat, like polyurethane varnish, should be used for good adhesion as well as to prevent discoloration. Generally, paper and fabric do not need a pre-coat because they are porous enough to allow the emulsion to stick properly, (be sure to wash your fabric and if you're printing onto raw artists' canvas, it should be washed and dried as well before applying emulsion). In my particular case, I chose a light wood, watercolor paper, and of course a butcher knife (just for fun). (Model release contracts were used, as they should be for any shoot involving models! Especially nudes!!)īefore using Liquid Light emulsion, you must first figure out what you're going to print it on and prepare the surface with a pre-coat. Please excuse my censoring, some of my Liquid Light experiments involved nude photographs. **Note: The top three photographs were taken and printed by myself. The entire airplane hanger was made into a pinhole camera, and was sanctioned by the Guinness Book of Records as the World's Largest Camera. The negative image is 3,375 square feet and took up most of an aircraft hanger in southern California where it was shot. "The Great Picture" took 9 months to create and required 6 artists and 400 volunteers. Music to calm your nerves (my personal preference - A Perfect Circle: Emotive or Thirteenth Step)įUN FACT: The largest photograph in the world was created with Liquid Light in 2007. ![]() Pot or bowl of warm/hot water (or a microwave)Įnlarger (or projector for larger objects)ĭeveloping chemicals, (developer, fixer, stopbath if needed)īrush or sponge, (other than the one listed above for the emulsion) Pre-existing or recently proccessed black and white negativeīrush, sponge, finger.anything to coat your object with Liquid Light You can print on wood, metal, glass, walls, even eggs! (Don't worry, if you don't know how to print in a darkroom, I've included instructions in step 4). It basically allows you to print photographs onto anything and everything using standard darkroom procedures.
