Development/ Changes

Development/changes

When I started this project my initial plan was to print in the darkroom myself and edit 5 digital files for prints. 

Through out my project and after thinking about this I decided to change my plans. I want to print the 5 final prints in the darkroom myself and submit 10 digital files for 10 finals. 


Why printing them myself ? 

As I shot with a film camera, I want to go through the whole process even if I'm taking a risk by printing them myself. I know how to print in the darkroom and I take evening classes but I've never done A3 prints before so this is a real challenge for me. 


Paper type 

In order to print my 4 final images I decided to go for Illford Fiber Base Classic Multigrade - Glossy (16x12 inch)

Why this paper ? After using resign coated glossy paper and Fibre base paper before, I just have a personal preference for Fiber bass paper. Resign coated glossy paper is too glossy and has too much reflection, compared to finer base paper which has a subtle glossy aspect and also  a nice texture. I bought 10 sheets of paper for 40£, which leave me with enough paper for test strips and final prints.
