Paper negs and printing through paper
I'm looking to make some image 'constructions' using paper negs put together and then printed through onto more paper. Or something like that. I am using my FKD plate /gaffer tape camera and Kentmere VC RC and Orwo G2 very thin paper.
I regularly use paper negs in camera and am aware of the issues surrounding controlling the inherent contrast but am unsure of the techniques involved in constructions of images and the like. I have the images of Parkeharrison and Mr Sanderson in the back of my mind. Would welcome any advice or pointers |

One of the examples you give seems to be of montage work, whilst the other is contains paper negative photographs. Are you considering combining the two?
My only experience of montage was in an advertising office, and is more than 50 years old, but as I remember all components were photographed as big as was practical and then cut, pasted, and rephotographed under shadowless lighting, before being reprinted at the required size. |

It is possible to separate, by soaking, the emulsion layer from the paper on RC paper. You may have already done this? It makes the negative easier to print. Different effect of course.

I recollect reading that rubbing paraffin wax into the paper back was standard practice to increase the transparency of paper negatives.

Many years ago I used to work for Ademco Ltd in High Wycombe and we used to peel RC papers apart dry in order to heat seal the image onto canvas. The thinner paper meant a better canvas impression

All a bit technical for me I'm afraid. Was thinking more of photographing different segments of the image on various peices of paper-neg then piecing them together and re-imaging them into a positive. Is this possible?
I already do printing through paper - not need for paraffin wax or whatever. I Use eiother ORWO paper [VERY thin] or Foma/Kentmere RC. |
