film 1
work from film photo semester 1
In semester one of this class, I learned the process of capturing on film, developing film and printing photos. Later, I started experimenting with this process.
I made a pinhole camera out of a small cardboard box and captured these two negatives which I then made positives from.
Next I started capturing with my film camera, a Minolta X-700.

Eventually I started experimenting with double exposures. I layered two pieces of film in the enlarger which combined them into one image when printing. While capturing, I focused on finding things that would work well for double exposures, such as a more textural background layer and a higher contrast layer to use as a sort of mask.
