Luminograms

Red Sky Night and Yellow Evening by Jo Bradford

I plan to use this blog to showcase work that is produced at Green Island Studios. To begin with here is some work that I have made recently.

These are more examples of my Luminogram City Scapes, which I create in my colour darkroom. Using just light and chemically sensitised paper.

You have stumbled upon the new blog for my artspace, Green Island Studios which is situated in Cornwall, UK. I am lucky to be by the sea and lots of leafy woodlands too.

I have a studio and a full colour darkroom where I work full time. I work mainly with photography, in a variety of formats; from using vintage cameras & pinholes to digital equipment.

I like to pick up vintage Twin Lens Reflex and Box cameras from car boot sales and junk shops to adapt into weird camera contraptions and pinholes. I am a fan of working with alternate and anitquated processes as well. I love to make cyanotypes, photograms and colour luminograms on paper and fabric. The image above is a luminogram which I painted with light in my darkroom recently.
