Making Of A Kallitype (Part 1)
I recorded and edited a short 8-10x timelapse recording of the first stages of my Kallitype development process. Starting with mixing the photo emulsion, brush coating the paper, contact printing (UV exposure), heating developer and then showing the first two stages of actual development & clearing. Final result shown at the end, a 15x11" framed print (also posted here recently)...

(Please let me know if you'd like to see more like this... Personally, I find it quite ASMR-capable, even at this high speed, but even more so at real time. The whole process is quite therapeutic in these times!)

Some of you might know that image of Crodon di San Candido already (posted it a few times in the past), but last night I finally made a 15x11 inch Kallitype print of it (on Hahnemühle Platinum Rag, 100% cotton, 300gsm paper). Available as limited edition soon.
Since these prints are handmade (each taking over an hour to develop & process), the tone of each individual print always slightly varies. Therefore, I will be offering an option to indicate your preference for warmer or cooler tones. For example, if you choose "warm" for an order, I would then select the "warmest" (neutral/brownish) print of the edition still available... first come basis...

For each: add water to 100 mL
Mix equal parts A + B and coat your paper.
