Course contents
Salt print + Calotype
Historical photographic techniques have recently become very interesting when speaking about alternative photographic techniques. The first successful and permanent print was on silver-chlorid paper (between the years 1840-1850 broadly used positive materials). The print is not developped it is created by „printing-out-paper“. The particles are colloid Ag, coloured in ochre, brown and reddish brown.
