“A traditional photographer, Jim specialises in monochrome Carbon Transfer Contact Printing from in camera negatives. Carbon Transfer printing, a process perfected by Joseph Swan in 1864, is a highly labour intensive process that yields prints of the finest quality. The artist has total control of the image tonality due to the creative blending of pigments used to manufacture the carbon tissue which is used to complete his vision. From this tissue the image is born. Carbon prints require a minimum of four or more days work to produce one finished print. Truly a labor of love and passion. Jim teaches carbon transfer printing and offers workshops in his studio/darkroom at his home in Vancouver Washington”. Things we chatted about on the show: Jim got his inspiration from his friend Vaughn who runs workshops with Jim in Yosemite National Park. http://vaughnhutchins.com/ Making negatives from PyrocatHD a very popular staining developer much favoured by all who use alternative photographic processes.
