Creative Prints: darkroom
Beyond clear, clean, and well composed prints, the enlarger is a tool that can manipulate and distort. There are many creative techniques (double negative, solarizing, montage, etc..) that you can experiment with in order to create thoughtful, artistic, and expressive images. The enlarger is a creative tool; results will vary but you need to experiment and problem solve in order to get the best results possible. Refer to presentation, do some creative thinking and do some additional research to help you - see technique booklet to get started on some ideas.
