Close Up
Ink fills the crevaces of a lithographic engraving detail on a carrera marble stone. To the left small bubbles of hydrogen, leftovers from etching with nitric acid, can be seen.
Shot with a smartphone camera through a loupe magnifier, the photo is just a single frame of a video depicting a unique photosensitive lithography process. The process itself is akin to the 19th century photography with its use of albumen and ammonium dichromate and a darkroom. UV light is used for irradiating the photosensitive material creating a magical setting in the darkroom, all of which can be seen in the video: youtu.be/O9iJQZbuXnI (the frame in the photo can be seen around 3:20).
This technique and many others are described on the lithographer's website: litografia.pl
