Photo Negatives

The idea of using a phone in the dark room to project the light off the image and onto the shiny paper is a useful tip. It's difficult to navigate the image to fit on the paper and timing it right, typically the image needs to only be projected for 5 to 6 seconds and then you can have a decent photo negative. The first photo as shown here with twin dragon was originally just one drawing but I copied it onto some clear paper and flipped the clear one around. The two together had a geometric appearance with the scales and the shapes create an abstract effect. I then took a photo and used it in the dark room. Here the image developed fades slightly where the parts haven't been doubled over, making the middle area a central focus point. Another good thing about the negative photo is that the entwined dragons have lost their definition lines that made it easy to tell they were two different dragons. I defiantly think this was an improved result by transferring work to another art area.
The second photo was from a lino print I made, I zoomed in on the print with my phone and found once the image had been developed it was too simplistic. Placing some ink colours onto the photo with a slight runny effect made the photo more interesting to look at.
