Pelargonium Printing with Alice Cazenave
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- Photographer Alice Cazenave explains her practice using pelargonium leaves as photographic paper. The photographic image is produced by the biochemistry of the leaf itself. This process involves controlling areas of the leaf that photosynthesise through the use of a negative. The leaf undergoes a development stage to bring out the photographic image that resides inside it.
wooooooow! Such a natural process, thanks for sharing this technique.
Beautiful and very interesting - thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Thanks for sharing such a fascinating technique!
i dont mean to be so off topic but does someone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account..?
I somehow forgot the login password. I love any assistance you can give me!
@Roland Wesley instablaster ;)
@Luka Arian I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im in the hacking process now.
I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Luka Arian It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thanks so much you really help me out!
@Roland Wesley You are welcome xD
Permanence or storage needs?
I am working on old photographic processes! I am going to upload videos about it on my UA-cam channel dedicated to film photography!
did you succeed with your attempt, I can't get any good results out of this process
Hi Alice beautiful work best of luck with future projects. I was wondering what type of light you used is it regular lighting or ultra violet. Thank you for posting
Hi, Any lamp will work
It is a halogen work light
Hi Alice, could you please tell me what percentage iodine solution you used? I am going to have to make my own iodine solution. Also, I wondered what type of light bulb you use and how far from leaf you set it up. Kind regards.
She uses this iodine - www.the-home-brew-shop.co.uk/tincture-of-iodine-30ml-home-brewing.html which is 8-10% I believe.
and a 120W halogen light
Hello ma’am , how to get photo , what is process and material used please let me know
Hi, what is the ratio for the bicarbonate of soda and water please?
About a teaspoon in 100ml water
Hi! What’s the distance between the leaf and the lamp? Thanks so much
Hi - thanks for this. It depends on the lamp you're using.
If using an LED lamp, place 10-15cm from the leaf.
If using a halogen work light, place 1m away.
Beware that lamps can over heat, make sure your lamp is PAT tested and place away from other objects as this is quite a long exposure time!
i did a test previously using a 50w halogen lamp but it was at a distance of 30/40cm.
The image was imprinted on the leaf but at the same time the leaf dried up and in the alcohol and iodine phases the leaf blackened and the image disappeared.
I think I got the type of leaf and the type of exposure wrong, what do you think about?
Thanks so much!
Hi, im Mika from Chile and i have a question, what is that purple water?
It's methylated spirits
@@londonaltphoto thanks! This metod can made The permanent photo in The leaf?
Sorry for my english 🙊
@@mikaelawendtmardones4272 Yes it can!
Hey there, I have a quick question if anyone could help.
The only iodine that I could find was 5% antiseptic. Is that what I need?
You have to buy iodine from a brewery, as it needs to be high percentage
@@HfletchI asked because I'm quarantined and thought this one could work. thank you :)
@@Hfletch does anybody know the percentage? I am trying hard to obtain "brewer's Iodine, however, the Breweries I have contacted here in NZ don't test using Iodine.
when you are exposing the image does it need to be UV light or will any lamp work?
Hi Lizzie, Any lamp will work
Dose this work with any leaf or dose it have to be of a certain type ?
I'm trying to replicate this process and some leafs won't loose chlorophyll in the methylated spirits, I'm experimenting with pelargonium and other plants but I have no discernable image yet
