"Lost layers"

One-off Rodinal print hand developed on Ilford satin photopaper.

Rodinal was patented January 27, 1891 by Dr. Momme Andresen. It was the first product sold by Agfa and is the oldest photographic product.

The significance in these photograph relies on the choice of production techniques, where I've introduced another 'mirror' via the use of contact printing from paper negatives and scratch chemical-process. Rather than opt for commercial-grade super-perfect prints, I've instead taken high-resolution, highly-worked digital masters through a deliberately unsophisticated DIY approach, shunning contemporary ideas of digital 'perfection'.
