Mélodie on Tintype.
#tintype #altprocess #nsfw #wetplate

A genuine tintype portrait in black and white, rendered with the soft depth and silvery tones characteristic of 19th-century wet-plate photography. The image depicts a woman posed with her arms raised and resting above her head, her expression direct and quietly confident as she gazes toward the camera. She has long, dark hair styled into two braids that fall over her chest, and she wears a sheer open shirt that reveals her bare breasts. The lighting and chemistry of the tintype create a luminous quality, with subtle imperfections at the plate’s edge that add to its antique character. The shallow focus and slightly blurred background emphasize her face and upper body, giving the portrait a timeless, intimate presence.

Back to kallitype callibration. At the top is a color response wedge and a test print of model @collibrina.bsky.social using a black ink calibration curve. At the bottom is my prior test print based on the old system. Getting closer!

#Photography #AltProcess #Kallitypes

2 new kallitypes and one from my last printing session. At the top are 1) a color response chart (bunch of squares of different exposures to see how much different colors block exposure of the print) and 2) a photo of model Collibrina, sitting sideways in a chair, in the nude with a shawl on the shoulders. Photo done with a black-ink only calibration curve. At the bottom is a kallitype done with an old negative under my old system - highlights are burnt out and shadows not detailed.

Not posting any new images today but instead showcasing one of my ongoing projects entitled "Mystères de Paris". These are coffee-toned cyanotypes depicting a dark and mysterious version of Paris where odd characters abound. Feel free to share. #cyanotype #altprocess #photography #sepia

A young woman wearing a bowler hat, a dark dress and white stockings is sitting at the bottom of a flight of stairs up from the quais de Seine at night. Sepia toned cyanotype.

The statue of philosopher Diderot seen through the arch of the Tour Saint Jacques in Paris. Sepia toned cyanotype.

The underside of the Pont de Bir-Hakeim in Paris at night. Sepia toned cyanotype.

A man in a bowler hat is sitting against a wall on the quais de Seine. Three similar looking men in bowler hats rush by, blurred by their movements. Sepia toned cyanotype.

Prometheus Unbound

Model: BlueRiverDream

Platinum-palladium toned kallitype, from 2020

#ArtNude #Nude #Photography #ModelPhotography #AltProcess #AlternativeProcess #Kallitype #Platinum #Palladium #BlueRiverDream #LawrencesView

Model BlueRiverDream poses nude against a rocky cliffside, with her right hand upraised against the cliff and the left hand against her shoulder with her long hair wrapped around. Title from the impression that she is shedding her bonds to the rock.
