darkroom printing
Darkroom printing is a traditional photographic process that involves developing photographs using chemical solutions in a darkened room. Photographers use film negatives, which are exposed to light, and then place them in a developer solution to reveal the image. After development, the prints are fixed to prevent further exposure to light.
Once the images are developed, they can be printed onto photographic paper using an enlarger, which projects the negative onto the paper. The paper is then processed through additional chemical baths, including stop bath and fixer, to create a final print. This method allows for precise control over the image's contrast and exposure.
