Cliché-Verre is a unique photograph that is made by using a printmaking process of "etching" into the surface of a dried emulsion upon a transparent material like glass or mylar. Using a variety of "printing-plates," normal black and white photographs can be transformed into fascinating abstract, textural shapes and patterns.
This week and next, while you are busily shooting your documentary film, we will be experimenting with cliché-verre prints in class. Bring your old photo binders, these prints can be made with old negatives. No new shooting is necessary! Check out the slideshow below for inspiring new ideas!
