Anthotype Emulsions, Volume 3

Book excerpt: Can you really use black beans to print a photograph? What about moss or mushrooms? Discover the anthotype process and follow artists who explore plants or pigments to create colourful eco-friendly prints. Every August, during World Anthotype Day, artists surpass the boundaries of what is possible. For a third year, artists from all over the world came together and extended our knowledge and stretched the limits to discover unusual emulsions from plants, powders and pigments to make photographic emulsions, and then print their images using the sun. The artists documented their process, research and observations and their notes are collected in this book.
