Jill Enfield’s Guide to Photographic Alternative Processes, 2nd edition, is packed with stunning imagery, how-to recipes, techniques and historical information for emulating the ethereal, dream-like feel of alternative processing.

This fully updated edition covers alternative processing from its historical roots through to digital manipulation and contemporary techniques and how to combine them. It features several new techniques alongside new approaches to older techniques, including hand painting on silver gelatin prints, ceramics and photography, cyanotypes, wet plate collodion, digital prints and many more. Enfield showcases the different styles and methods of contemporary artists together with suggestions for vegan and vegetarian friendly alternative processing, transforming 2D images to 3D installations, and how to apply darkroom techniques to digital captures.

Professionals, students and hobbyists will discover how to bring new life and imagination to their imagery. Whether in a darkroom using traditional chemicals, at the kitchen sink with pantry staples, or in front of the computer re-creating techniques digitally, you will learn how to add a richness and depth to your photography like never before.

Product description

Review

"Jill Enfield has a way of writing about alternative processes that meets the needs of both seasoned printers and photographers who are new to these printing methods. Her book has been a constant guide for my own alternative process research and an important resource for my students."

Chris Nail, Photographic Educator

"Jill Enfield continues to excel as an author specializing in Alternative Photographic Processes. This guide serves fabulously as an educator text and practitioners workbook. Ms. Enfield covers historical and contemporary techniques assisting photographic artists, a must read for all levels of expertise."

Glenn Grafelman, Fine Artist and Educator

"This book is for beginners. This book is for experts. This book is for me. Even though, at this time, I haven’t taken the time to work with alternative processes, since the 1970s, after taking a look at this new release (and update) from Jill Enfield, I am ready to borrow a friend’s 5x7, and go out in the field and try my hand (again!)."

This is a very comprehensive well written and organized book on historical processes.

Reviewed in the United States on 24 April 2020

At first glance I immediately liked the smaller size of this book. The important points and directions for making chemicals and equipment needed are highlighted and easy to find on the page. Each chapter is very organized and covers safety, materials and techniques and the following processes:
The Digital Negative Process and other ways to make and print negatives.
Anthotypes,Photosynthesis, and Lumen prints
Cyanotypes
Salted and Albumen prints
Van Dyke brown, Kallotype, and Argyrotype prints
Platinum and Palladium prints, the Maide-Ware and Ziatype technique
Wet Plate Collodion
Liquid Emulsion Prints and Dry Plate Tintypes
Gum Printing
Transfers and Decals
Hand Painting photographs
Multiple printing and other techniques
Ceramics and photography

Each process is explained in a straightforward manner. Her directions are thorough but she encourages experimentation and gives new ways to approach them. The book is appropriate for someone new to historical processes but also is full of information and details for more experienced readers.
Many images are included to help the reader visualize how to perform a technique as well as beautiful images from artists who make them. These are very helpful but also stimulate us to try and achieve them.
Jill Enfield is an experienced photographer, educator and curator who is also a wonderful teacher. She excites you during her classes and this comes through in this book too. Her keen interest in her craft is passed on to us to enjoy, learn from and interpret in our own unique way through this new book.

Good book if you have an interest in alternative processes

I've got the first edition of this book (don't remember how I rated it) and liked it enough to order the second edition.
Lots of stuff here with some user advice I doubt you'd get from the manufacturer. Lots of internet addresses for you to look things up at. The ones I looked at were still valid but not equally useful. It'll get you started. I'd want more information than is printed here but you get enough to find it elsewhere.

Best Well Rounded Photography Book

This is a fantastic book encompassing many forms of alternative photography. I have greatly enjoyed being able to get outside the prescribed narrative with these interesting methods. The writing, pictures, and flow of the book make it feel more like a cook book than a textbook but are still very academic and educational.
