Alternative process
AdvancedBromoil
Between painting and photography
VP Bromoil is a process where a gelatin matrix, exposed and developed, is rehumidified then inked with a foam roller using black Charbonnel intaglio ink. Tanned areas accept ink while water-swollen areas repel it. Each roller pass reveals the image a little more. The result sits between oil painting and photography.
The art of inking
Bromoil is a process from the early days of photography. The softness and painterly quality of the prints are typical of this genre. Pictorialist photographers used it to affirm photography as a true art form. The VP kit eliminates all the toxic chemistry of the old process: no more silver bleaching, no more copper sulfate.
