Lumen Printing

During the pandemic, I decided to try Lumen Printing! You can see my print below made combining a digital negative, paired with botanicals from my yard. I printed on Ilford Fibre warmtone paper. The exposure times here in central Florida were 30 minutes of sunlight so the digital negative portion wouldn’t get too dark. Doused the plants into pool water to add moisture to them.

I joined a group of artists this May for a blog article on making Lumens during the panemic, entitled “Lockdown Lumen” which you can read more on here.

*I did not tweak the contrast in post processing for these lumens.
