An age old technique...


For the past year i have been struggling to achieve a vintage feel to my photography...previously the best technique i had found was emulsion transfer, painting onto the back of photocopies to transfer the ink...this process is quite temperamental and leaves a  textured surface which is not always desired.

BUT finally i have come across a technique that transfer the photograph/image easily, without any residue....Cellulose Thinners!

I painted the solvent based liquid onto the back of the photograph above which then transferred onto the previously collaged graph paper. 

I love the overall effect and will be sure to experiment with it further!
