Black-and-white analogue silver halide photography<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A technique developed in the 19th century, it now benefits from modern technical advances and remains one of the most fascinating and widespread methods for creating \u2018material\u2019 images \u2013 that is, images that, through chemical processes, involve the physical material itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The process consists of taking the photographs, developing the film into a negative, and printing the images recorded on the negative in the darkroom. The photographs are first developed, then fixed in two different chemical baths, before undergoing a third selenium bath which deepens the blacks and ensures better preservation of the print.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bottega Luci primarily uses ILFORD film to take photographs, and ILFORD 220g\/m\u00b2 barium fibre paper for the prints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bottega Luci offers commissioned prints from its portfolio, selected by the client.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
