Various Darkroom Works

My darkroom photography practice is rooted in the tactile, alchemical nature of analog image-making. Whether working with traditional silver gelatin prints, cyanotypes, salted paper, or C-41 film, I’m drawn to the slow, intentional rhythms of each process. These techniques aren’t just methods, they’re languages. Each one reveals something distinct about time, touch, and materiality. I often experiment with layering alternative photographic processes with screen printing, exploring how surface, repetition, and transparency can deepen narrative and texture. From hand-coating paper to watching an image emerge in developer, I find meaning in the physical dialogue between light and surface.
