#liquid-emulsion

The liquid emulsion process is an alternative photographic printing process where you can apply a silver-based light-sensitive liquid photographic emulsion (sometimes referred to as Liquid Light, which is actually a product title of Rockland Colloid) on any surface and process it in the photographic darkroom as usual, i.e. using an enlarger and conventional chemistry. It is the same emulsion as the one used on ordinary photographic paper, but, when melted, it turns into liquid and coats a surface. This complex and multi-stage process allows looking at the image from a different perspective. In this section, I publish articles and examples of my own experiments with liquid emulsion.
