Kallitipias workshop with Digital Negative
Thursday, May 22 and Friday, May 23
The workshop on Kallitipias and Digital Negatives focuses on learning this contact printing technique, based on iron and silver salts, developed in 1889 by Scottish chemist and photographer W.W.J. Nicols.
This technique is distinguished by its wide tonal range and the ability to capture details in shadow areas. A key aspect of the workshop is the calibration of digital negatives, necessary to achieve copies with historical processes that faithfully correspond to the original digital image. Since the tone curve of these processes is not linear, each negative must be adjusted to the specific process.
Workshop content:
History and fundamentals of kallitipia; Types of paper (gelatin, watercolor, etc.); Preparation of chemicals and negatives; Contrast and exposure control; Types of developers and toning (gold, selenium, platinum, double toning); Fixing, clearing, and photo review.
