Aquaroid

Aquaroid is created by combining Polaroid and water, hence the name. It’s an author's technique. Creating one requires patience and lots of time. The method can be called processual since the process itself is a transformation of a photographic emulsion, i.e., sensitive layer, reacting to water in the liquid state. What’s unique about Aquaroids are colors captured in the original Polaroid that affects the final artwork spectrum. → Browse all aquaroids

 

Aquagraph

Aquagraph is formed by a reaction of silver particles in a light-sensitive photo emulsion with the stream of water and developer at the same time. Darkening imprints are instantly visible following the specific trajectory of the stream. In traditional darkroom printing, water is used as a stop bath because it interrupts the image’s darkening. In this experimental technique, water causes and ends the darkening simultaneously, so the part of the creative element is left to fortuity. → Browse all aquagraphs

 

Cyanotype

Cyanotype is an unconventionally executed historical photographic technique – a process reversed. A significant part of the background is formed by the natural color of pure white cotton paper. The illuminated section of the artwork is presented in typical Prussian blue. Since there is no blue oversaturation in the final artwork, one can enjoy the shades and richness of this magnificent blue in decent form. → Browse all cyanotypes
