I did a small lot of photos with Claudine a few weeks back (i have been rather lazy in going into Brighton and getting them developed), they were up the downs on a sunny-ish day with a lot of wind. These are not anything too special but it gave me a good idea to manipulate them. I thought of the idea of using chemicals to react with the paper but since getting hold of chemicals was a lot harder than i thought i used everyday objects. Here are some of the outcomes all unedited:

1 hour in hot water with a slice of lemon. Scratched into it with a chopstick end and wiped with a kitchen paper towel.

Left for an hour in hot water and 2 tablespoons of table salt. Wiped with a kitchen towel paper.

1 hour in Tesco's Lemon and Lime sparkling water, wiped away with a kitchen paper towel. Also scratched a little bit with the end of a chopstick.

30 minutes, PG tips tea bag straight from hot water.

1 hour with squeezed lemon juice over it, wiped away with kitchen paper towel and a little bit scratched with a chopstick.

1 hour soaked in Tesco's Cola and wiped away with a kitchen paper towel.

I'm very surprised with the results, during the 1 hour sessions the photos didn't do anything so I am thinking whether it's just the colouring being wiped away with the kitchen towel when it's wet? But it doesn't seem that way with the salt water.. I did choose a lot of acidic liquids as I was told that they react more.

I will edit this and post a couple photos I like from our shoot.

 

 Tried a bit of double exposure (didn't really work that well)

These are some of the work in progress.
