The 6th Annual Barrydale Analogue Photo Festival is on from 12 - 20th December in the Western Cape. I'm showing some work printed using the cyanotype, Van Dyke brown, and salted paper processes and will be speaking at 2pm on Saturday 13th.

Alternative photography print processes really cost three times as much for every component (paper, chemistry, transparency media, ink, computer, printer, UV lamps, brushes etc etc) for me to pursue, so I'm very happy about the new supplier :-D

Two brown and white images, one of a gallery (arcade) in Bologna with a man walking away through the archway and the other of a quiet canal with buildings in each side in Venice, in light brown frames hanging in a wall.
Commissioned work in situ with repurposed timber bespoke frames. Totes fab.

A blue and white print of a photo of the Spanish Quarters in Naples. The narrow paved lane way is busy with scooters and people. There are tall buildings festooned with laundry, awnings, and signage on each side of the lane. It's late afternoon.

A blue and white image taken in the middle of the day from a high vantage point. In the foreground in sharp focus is a chimney on the right and a thin horizontal line of tiled roof. In the background and in soft focus are Lake Como and mountains. The sky has puffy clouds.

A blue and white print. In the left hand foreground is a rough wall with an ornamental cement garden-type bowl with a tiny shrivelled plant trying to grow in it. In the background is a lake and a large mountain across the other side. Tendrils from a plant intrude in the right foreground.

#cyanotype test print on Hahnemühle Harmony

A blue and white image of the Grand Canal. There are old three storey palazzi lining each side. The early morning light is soft and it's a long exposure which makes the water appear silky smooth. There are a few puffy clouds in the sky.
Venice, 2022. Cyanotype test print on Hahnemühle Harmony, work for a new series.

Fourteen brown and white images from various urban locations in Italy laid out like a grid. The images have an irregular dark brown border (it looks, and is, hand-made), and the paper is slightly curled.
Work in progress - test prints for a new series.
Van Dyke brown on Fabriano Artistico.

A brown and white print of a photograph taken through a wide stone arch up in the mountains above Lake Como. The arch frames the mountains, lake and sky.
A brown and white print of a photo taken of Le Zitelle church in Venice, Italy. It's a side-on view showing the dome and the bell tower with an ominously cloudy sky in the background.
Dennis da Silva at the Alternative Print Workshop here in Johannesburg very kindly gave me a sheet of Hahnemühle Platinum Rag to test. It's made for alt process printing, so unsurprisingly it performs beautifully.
