an image (made) of light. (Latin: photo, light + graph, image)

collide into the crystals causing a chemical reaction at a molecular level

in which each microscopic crystal in the emulsion captures that Moment’s actual Light; the same photons which travelled through space from the core of the Sun

the image now chemically recorded into the emulsion and held by the crystals within it

The exposure button is pressed, creating a photograph in the technical sense: This creates the physical record on the surface of the film, in the form of a photographic negative.

The negative(s) are then developed, chemically treated, by a lab, which deactivates the light-sensitivity of the crystals to permanently fix the image which had been seared into the emulsion. The negatives are then digitised by high resolution scanning.

Then I begin the process to grade each photograph, to reveal the natural appearance of colour, shadow, and light.

A film photograph is like a translucent plate which has been dyed with the full colour spectrum, but, because it's a dye, the image can appear just not quite right.

Making small adjustments, bit by bit, it’s a fine-tune process that can stretch on for nights, when I prefer to work, it being still and un-bright.
