Books on photomaterials
Recently I have found an interesting title "Historic Photographic
processes" by Richard Farber. The description sounds good, but I would like to know the opinion of someone of about it. I would like, also, to know from you some other books that you think are basic to know the photographic materials. I mean, books that tell, in a very very technical way, secrets about chemicals and materials to obtain creative effects. Thanks |

A wonderful book for those wanting to make non-silver prints. I have a copy and
refer to it periodically. While I have not yet actually tried any of the methods described in it (except for bromoil with so-so results on the first attempt), I have learned a lot about the processes and the range of results that can be obtained from each. The book covers salted paper, albumen, cyanotype, kallitype, platinum/palladium, carbon/carbro, gum bichromate and bromoil. There are introductory chapters on sizing of papers and safety and a chemical listing at the back with comments and potential sources of materials. Basic - well, essential - books for the silver process would include the following: Anchell, The Darkroom Cookbook, 2nd Ed. Anchell and Troop, The Film Developing Cookbook Stroebel et al., Basic Photographic Materials and Processes Tim Rudman, The Photographer's Master Printing Course Tim Rudman, The Master Photographer's Lith Printing Course Tim Rudman, The Master Photographer's Toning Book Ansel Adams, The Negative Ansel Adams, The Print Francis A.
