Lumen Workshop - 2025 - Dates TBC

Lumen Printing

For those of you familiar with the Cyanotype process Lumen Printing shares many of the same concepts.

You expose coated paper to daylight with objects on the paper to created different tones depending on the thickness of the objects, their transparency and the length of exposure. Unlike Cyanotypes you can get colours in your images, yes you can change the colour of a cyanotype with toning but it is still a monochromatic image. Also you no longer have to buy the equipmentand chemicals to coat your paper, Lumens use traditional Black & White darkroom paper.

The 4 images above show you the exposed images (1 and 3) and the processed images (2 and 4), to process them you put them into traditional B&W darkroom Fixer for 1 minute.

There is an unpredictability with Lumens much as there is with Cyanotypes and people push the process in many wonderful directions.

The Workshop

Come and join me for a 1 day Lumen workshop at my home to learn this wonderful process.
