Endless Stateless

Photography. Old cameras, new cameras, homemade lenses. I shoot JPEG. Images are straight out of camera unless otherwise noted.

Through-the-viewfinder photography.

A weird alternate process trend that popped up in the late noughties and vanished again, where you shoot through the veiwfinder of another camera, essentially using the viewfinder as an effects filter.

Left is a Canon Powershot A720 shooting through the viewfinder of a Kodak Brownie C. Right is same Canon shooting through the viewfinder of a similar Brownie, though the exact model escapes my memory. The colours really pop.

Both images straight out of camera, just cropped and shrunk.

Alternative process printing: Chlorophyll

An extremely fugitive process of exposing a positive onto plant matter over days, which then decomposes and takes the print with it. Most artists who use chlorophyll printing rephotograph the print and exhibit that instead, the cowards.

c.2015. Original photo taken with a Canon 750D in Melbourne.

Alternative process prints: anthotypes

Three anthotype prints on pastelboard. The mosque is blueberry juice the church and paddleboat are blackberry. The dark water on the paddleboat photo accounts for the overall darkness of the image compared to the church.

Anthotypes are fugitive (they fade in months, not years) and take days of exposure, and are relatively low resolution, so I didn't experiment all that long with them. A smoother surface like washi paper might also yield a clearer result.

Prints done c2015 from photos taken c.2008-2014.

High tension, Melbourne, c.2012.

Kodak DC3200. Straight out of camera.

Early digital camera, a total of 1MP. When the sensor points into direct sun it fails to render colour correctly at all. Very interesting in-camera effects.
