FILM 8 x 10 palladium printing gold leaf in the Darkroom
Nicole Caldwell
The “rolls royce” of darkroom printing. Shot on Ilford 8×10 black and white film. We shot in the photostudio with the 8×10 camera. Then off to the darkroom to print on both watercolor and vellum with gold leaf. The gold leaf has a bit of a learning curve, and I am partial to the traditional printing on papaer.
Come into the darkroom and witness the magic happen.
Many steps for this handmade one of a kind heirloom ( and worth it!)
1. Photoshoot in the studio on 8 x 10 camera.
2.Develop negatives
3. mix light sensitive chemicals, & coat papaer ( must be kept out of uv light)
4. place negative over coated papaer, expose for 10 minutes in UV light box
