Photographed with 35 mm film, printed as negative on lithograph film, then transfered to hand applied water color paper – which I coated with liquid emulsion, then…processed under an enlarger. PHEW – this is the result!
While out exploring the local countryside, a small farm was spotted nestled in the freeways that, once explored, revealed great beauty. This was shot on Velvia 100 slide film, and post processed to include an overlay of a developed photographic glass plate emulsion.
The second version of Breakwater where I used liquid emulsion on watercolour paper.
a little lift off antique mirror / ambient views / this is me yesterday / when i stood before you time and space has broken / we were once side by side / as the edges peel away / we now drift by the tide. remember me always / i will fade from you now / i will be waiting for you here / when you decide to come around. antique mirror / trust / i am within your new view / and there is nothing that will take me / from the centre of you. A little lift off written by the extraordinarily talented Nicole Ryan This image was shot on negative film then cross processed and the transparency was manipulated further using a Daylab printer and Polaroid pull apart film. Once the positive was formed, some citroclean was sprayed onto it and it was placed into a bath of water. The emulsion lifts off its backing and is floating literally like very fine seaweed in the water. Extreme care was taken to lift this emulsion out of the water and onto blotting paper. Whilst it is still wet it can be manipulated further into any shape you wish. In this case a very subtle border. Once dry it sets into the blotting paper. This is the final result. This is a very unique technique as you will never be able to reproduce the same image twice due to the fact that it is dependant on how carefully you retrieve the emulsion out of the water and how you manipulate it on the paper while it is wet.

On this image I have tried to create a liquid emulsion effect. I love dark room effects and have just bought a book that shows how to create a few of these effects digitally. Just having fun experimenting and learning how to use photoshop better. I am pleased with the effect but it still needs some practise.
Another attempt at liquid emulsion. An old photograph from the late fifties of my sister and I, I am the darker haired one of the two.
Again liquid emulsion, it also hides background clutter. I took this on St Agnes beach, Cornwall.
This image was printed using liquid light. / This is a silver-based sensitizer for applying on any surface, exposing by an enlarger, and processing in conventional chemistry. It is virtually the same emulsion found on ordinary photographic paper, but in a liquid form and can allow the emulsion to be coated on a wide range of surfaces. / Here I have applied the liquid light using a brush to scrap metal and once it was dried exposed it with the enlarger. It was then developed, fixed and washed similar to any photographic paper. / The final piece of scrap metal was then stuck onto painted pine to be displayed. / The image you see before you is then a digital photograph of the displayed piece.

This image was shot on Fujichrome Velvia film (transparency film) and the transparency was manipulated further using a Daylab printer and Polaroid pull apart film. Once the positive was formed, some citroclean was sprayed onto it and it was placed into a bath of water. The emulsion lifts off its backing and is floating literally like very fine seaweed in the water. Extreme care was taken to lift this emulsion out of the water and onto blotting paper. Whilst it is still wet it can be manipulated further into any shape you wish. In this case a very rugged border. Once dry it sets into the blotting paper. This is the final result. This is a very unique technique as you will never be able to reproduce the same image twice due to the fact that it is dependant on how carefully and with a huge amount of experimentation, you retrieve the emulsion out of the water and how you manipulate it on the paper while it is wet. Everything about this technique is experimental. Firstly a variety of transparency films were experimented with. Pulling the emulsion off the backing of the Polaroid film was also experimented with. A few different cleaners were used due to the chemicals present in them and I found that citroclean worked best at doing this.

Reminds me of contents in a lava lamp
Inspired by the work of Wayne Thiebaud, one of my favorite candy stores in NYC located in Union Square. Polaroid emulsion painting on canvas.
Portrait
this piece was created through adhering a liquid emulsion to a piece of slate. then exposing through enlarger, process, fixed and washed .. / and from there scanned, added texture to background and desaturated slate.. / i could waffle on about this image and what it means to me but i could possibly be here all day so i believe the poem below sums it up / i will however say / we need to take care of where we are… / right now at THIS MOMENT in time and not some time in the unattainable distance when we had all good intentions of caring but can no longer be bothered to do so….. I sing of a city with no night - / do you remember the stars? / I sing of a city with no clouds - / do you remember rain? / I sing of a city with no warrior - / do you remember his wounds? the frozen city- david arscott
