Toning a print with spices and tea.
I’ve wanted to experiment with the idea of imbuing a print with more than just standard chemistry, and I especially like the idea of adding layers of experience to what is ordinarily solely a visual medium.
The physical nature of print offers the potential to really make use of the constituent material, which means different options and processes may make sense for different materials. In this case, I was working with Ilford Fiber paper, with a gloss finish. I used to prefer a satin/matte finish, but something about the gloss effect on fiber really works for base prints, so I had several recent efforts available to try something new with.
I made a few iterations of this print with standard factory mixtures and timings for the development. It was around a 25-second exposure through the enlarger, and I didn’t perform any dodging or burning, which are emergency-only options for me. The effect is quite distinct, with visible streaks where more of the mixture settled. You can see one of the corners appears much lighter, which is from where I held the paper at an angle to rinse the physical remains of the spices from the surface.
