I am currently in year 2 of A Level Photography at Castle Col
This is the first post in my A2 Photography Personal Study.
lege, Nottingham.
The personal study that I have chosen is to take photographs using Infrared film, to develop the film and to print the images onto fibre based paper. I've chosen this because infrared measures reflected infrared energy, and records the image completely differently to 'regular' film. I have chosen fibre paper because it prints in more than one dimension, it has depths that 'regular' paper doesn't have.
I am first going to research the history of using infrared film, and the various methods of developing the film. I have already looked into the purchase of the film, and it seems that 35mm would be the easiest to use, although 120 film is available, it might not suit my Holga camera for this project [ the camera might need some work on it before it was keep out all the infrared light].
I am going to research online, and look at any specialists that work within the infrared spectrum.
I am going to look at [photographers]
I will be using the following equipment for this project.
A film camera, Ricoh XR-1 35mm, using a 50mm lens, Ilford SFX 200 film and an SFX 200 Cokin P series filter
I will decide on the developer chemicals once I have researched the film
I will use the college darkroom and develop the film there
I will use the college enlarger and developing suite, using [developer]
I will use Kentmere Fibre Paper to print
I will look to produce 6 finished prints, which will be framed and submitted.
All research, pre-work, contact sheets and printing will be scanned into this blog
