Here are my two favorite salt prints from the semester, both of a back view of the same model. While they have the old traditional aesthetic of the salt print, they certainly have a modern twist. They were both photographed digitally, then given a texture overlay to try to enhance the weathered look. Also, the fact that she has tattoos is the most obvious display of the modern recreation.
Besides those two details, the pose and model give the print it’s antique feel.
The salt print was the most viable printing method we used. Besides all the silver nitrate stains on my skin and clothes, this was the process that I enjoyed working in the most. It was flexible, yet exact and achieves the sharpest results.
