Shot on Nikon with SB-800 Speed light.

Dramatic effect achieved in camera by metering for the sky, therefore shutting the lens aperture down to capture the clouds and colours. Also filling the underexposed foreground subject in with the required amount of fill flash to avoid silhouetting.

Both the male and female individually shot on a Nikon FE 35mm Film camera with extreme wide aperture using Ilford HP5 Black and White film with a continuous light source to the right of them.

Film loaded into tank, developed and fixed to the reccommended Ilford film developing times.

A normal/standard print of the male portrait is then produced in the darkroom [using analogue wet printing darkroom procedure] after initially doing a print strip exposure test to assess the correct print exposure time under the enlarger.

Then a solarised print of the female portrait is finally produced by the following method...

*Expose a piece of photo paper under the enlarger for the same time as the initial standard print of the male portrait.   [incamera exposure settings and studio lighting power were identical for the male and female portraits]

*Place in a tray of print developer solution till the image emerges.

 *Remove from tray and turn on the darkroom light for a few seconds then return print to the developing tray. The correct amount of darkroom light that the print was exposed to was determined after a few attempts.

 *The distorted solarised effect soon starts to appear on the print.

 *Put print into tray of stop bath solution then into fixing solution tray then into the clean cold water tank then squeegee the print dry.

 The eyeline strip was eventually torn off the solarised print of the female and stuck correctly in place onto the standard print of the male to achieve the finished layered result.

 This is then scanned into a high-res jpeg file on an Epson V350 Photo Scanner.

Film loaded into tank, developed and fixed to the reccommended Ilford film processing times.

*A normal standard print is then produced in the darkroom then a negative print produced as well, by.....

*Having the standard exposed but undeveloped print on Ilford Photo paper stuck together with a new fresh non exposed piece of Ilford paper, with the 2 emulsion sides facing inwards towards each other.

*These 2 pieces are then put into a groove-less medium format film contacts printer and light is then dropped through the negative film holder in the enlarger through the glass through the back of the already exposed and undeveloped print on to the new unexposed piece of print paper underneath.

*A negative reverse print then materialises with black tones reproduced as white and white tones reproduced as black.

*The negative print [which is now basically a flipped image of the original standard print] was torn in half and the left hand side [right hand side of original standard print] stuck onto the top of the left hand side of the now developed and fixed existing standard print to achieve the finished layered , part negative, right side vs right side symmetrical result.

This is then scanned into a high-res jpeg file on an Epson V350 Photo Scanner.

Image result achieved by exposing Ilford printing paper under enlarger with extra negative strip sandwiched on top of image negative in neg carrier.
Print developed with developer specifically brushed on and then fixed.
Complete print then scanned on an Epson V350 Photo Scanner into a high-res jpeg file.
