In this video, I demonstrate how to make simple paper negatives. I recently led a solargraphy workshop online, and noticed a lack of simple paper negative videos. I use this process to make positive versions of my solargraph, pinhole and photogram prints. This video is a super simple, quick and speedy tutorial on how to turn your paper negative into a positive print.
In this video, I used an enlarger to make my print, but in the past I have repeated the same process using a room light or torch.
The materials that you need for this process are:
- Black and White Silver Gelatin Photographic Paper parallaxphotog...
- Developer, Stop and Fix. parallaxphotog...
- Trays and Jugs
- Light source: Enlarger, Room Light or Torch
This is the pinhole camera that I am using in the video:

This EXACTLY what I was looking for. Straight to the point. Thanks, Melanie✌🏼

That was a so much simpler explanation than any of the other videos I saw! Thank you!

Thank you so much for such a clear video on this process. This will be the one people refer to in the future. For all the clarity I did miss the actual timing and subsequent turning off of the exposure light.

Great video and explanation. My one and only image taken with a pinhole camera turned out completely black. Obviously, too much light! I had converted a tissue box to a pinhole camera. After the exposure, I was holding it so tight (to keep it light proof) that I destroyed it. I would definitely build a sturdier pinhole camera next time!

Thanks for yer tips @Melanie King Greetings from Brussels, Belgia. Eh, I also use a dark box camera at the moment and I was looking for tips. Make fotos on paper. I am a beginner also. Cheers :)

I am going to try this. I was looking for this printing in negative.

@@MelanieKing It worked perfectly. Only had to find the right exposure. It takes a lot of light .

I recommend leaving a few seconds at the end of your video after it's obvious it's ended, so we can decide if we should leave a like.

Thanks, this video was made a few years ago! My videos have slightly improved since then ;)

Nice video. I like how you make it easy and simple to do. I've watched many videos on the topic of late and they were all complicated. When I tried however, it was just as easy as you demonstrated (minus a fair bit of experimentation to find out what ISO to rate the paper at). Do you ever develop your paper negatives in caffenol?

@vmatias9248 3 жыл бұрын

Very helpful! If you don't mind my asking, what sort of ventilation do you have set up in your darkroom? I'm a novice and not really sure how to go about setting up a system.

@MelanieKing 3 жыл бұрын

I am lucky and my darkroom already had ventilation, so I am not sure how I would set this up.

@ottonumen7397 3 жыл бұрын

How long did you expose the photo paper to the camera: time, aperture, ISO sensitivity. This is important. Of course I can experiment ...

@anzaeria Жыл бұрын

Out of curiosity, if you were holding a sheet of photographic paper in complete darkness with no safe light, would the emulsion side feel extra smooth as well as sticky? Even if it was matte paper, would the emulsion side feel smoother than the other side?

@MelanieKing Жыл бұрын

Yes, if you lick your finger and touch the corner of the paper - the emulsion side should feel sticky.

@bgcheney 3 жыл бұрын

What aperture did you have the enlarger set? Does it matter?

@MelanieKing 3 жыл бұрын

I had my enlarger set to the highest setting. It doesn't matter too much, as the paper is such a thick "negative", it takes a lot of light to penetrate through.

What is the appropriate time per second for exposure in sunlight or in normal light with a pinhole camera, who has correct information, thanks.

@chadchad6278 2 жыл бұрын

Paper negatives (generally) have an ISO of around 6. You'd use a light meter to determine how long to expose/what aperture to use if you're shooting paper negatives in a LF camera, but since this is a pinhole camera you're probably going to have to experiment

Ilford Multigrade Resin Coated pearl.

@@MelanieKing But isn't that too thick,surely it needs to be thin and have some sort of transparency to it,how does the light get through such thick paper

@MelanieKing Жыл бұрын

@@KevinGarlandJames nope, the exposure is long enough to get through paper. Paper is quite translucent if you hold it up to the light...

Also the exposures are 30 seconds!
