Salt printing is one of the earliest forms of printing. It involves coating paper with gelatin and then with silver. The paper is then exposed to UV light and produces a print in a long development process. This process is long but the outcome is reliant. Nearly all the prints turned out how i anticipated except for a few that had chemicals that set out for too long.
My prints are all of the salt flats in Bolivia and i used the salt from Bolivia in the developing. The prints have a sepia tint to them and the printing process makes the photos seem nostalgic. The landscape seems are suiting to this process due to its original use.
