Yes, what Metamerist said- that'd be awesome! Thankyou, Melanie, for sharing. I learnt a little about photography at Art School when I was younger, and my favourite ever part of that was making and using pinhole cameras. I loved the magical simplicity of them and the excitement of seeing how the images would turn out. Anyway, I've subscribed now, because I LOVE this DIY stuff...but yeah, if this comment isn't too late for you to see, I definitely second Metamerist's comment!
This is really cool and interesting. I remember doing something similar in our photography class in school with overhead projector sheets drawn on with sharpie!
thank you thats great technique, I did one set once with magazine figures cut out and all sorts of padlocks to make a unique sink bathroom scene. I will try to post pic for you later. You really know your subject very well , no script and easy to hear speech process.
That was really interesting, I have always wanted to experiment with photo paper and this has been useful to see what can be achieved. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks a lot for the video. I've just began experimenting with alternative photography. It's nice to be able to see a tutorial in video format. I've been playing with lumen prints and solargraphy the last couple of days. I was looking into chemigrams too. I might give it a go today. I hope you continue doing those videos. I'm really enjoying them.
super cool thank you! I just started getting into this and tried my first chemigram, sadly with no result at all.. I am wondering what I did wrong. I used Ilford rapid fixer, and ilfosol 3 as developer but literally nothing happened. now I wonder if it might be the photographic paper, I used Ilford semi gloss, hope you can help :)
Hey. How much light exposure did you give to the chemigram? It's very strange that you got no result at all. Feel free to email me through my website :)
So using large negatives (plates/sheets) for contact prints without an enlarger or any chemicals? Might be worth a shot, I got a bunch of old paper and a lot of sun this week
Nice. I like seeing this process with traditional chemistry. Would you keep the developer and re-use it after cleaning off the suntan cream or should it be discarded? Is there any advantage to going back and forth between the developer and fixer multiple times?
I would keep the developer for the chemigram process, but not if I was planning to use it for any "clean" photography. Yes, going back and forth between the two chemicals allows black (developer) and white (fixer) layers/lines to build up which gives the illusion of depth to the shapes and forms.

You mentioned explaining how to make your own development chemicals. I for one would be keen on watching that.

For me it's partly a 'I don't know what I don't know' thing. But anything that doesn't require the use of too much gear is a plus.
@@Metamerist625 I will be doing a video on how to make your own photographic chemicals quite soon!

Amazing results!! Thanks for sharing

Thank you for sharing! This is really cool.
Great thank you! Love how you show half of the paper developing!
Thank you! 😀
nice splatter patterns, there's a lot of possibilities with these techniques. Thanks for sharing! Good luck with the research.

That is great to hear! Please do show me your results
@@MelanieKing You can see them in the latest tweets in my feed twitter.com/allysseriordan
@@allysseriordan1073 I just had a look, nice fern-y lumen print!

Is it possible for me to send some samples of my salt prints?
Put the paper in 2% acetic acid solution (1:5 to 1:10 vinegar with water solution). It's called a stop bath, prolongs the life of your fixer :)
Thanks!

Does lumen printing work with fresh paper?
Both fresh and expired!
