Lumen

Lumen printing involves using out of date B&W photographic paper, and plenty of sunshine. Surprisingly, softly coloured images are the result. This is a playful and easy process which I use to create photograms. (i.e. whatever you want to appear as an image is placed on the paper, not a negative). Objects such as foliage, flowers, lace or anything that is not too thick can make good subjects. Shifting the object(s) during printing can create a 3D effect and modify the colours.
