Week Five - Alternative printing processes

This week was used to introduce us to our new project of alternative processes. As about half of my course is going to Paris this Sunday for five days they gave us the same project to do in Southampton. For this we have to find an image that we like in a gallery, take a photo of it, and then write about the process that went into printing it.
I was considering using an image by Julia Margaret Cameron for my work, as I have written about her for my Orientation project. I also knew that the Victoria and Albert Museum is currently exhibiting her work:

Annie - Cameron called this photo of her daughter her first success, 1864

The Kiss of Peace, 1869

The Angel in the House, 1871

The reason I was thinking about her work is because, apart from using it for my other unit, is because all of her images are somewhat mystical, and seem to have an otherworldly beauty about them. They are simple, yet striking, which fascinates me about them.
However, I have also signed up for the workshop on alternative printing processes Thursday next week, and we were told that we would be allowed to use our own images for this project. I feel that actually having learned the process rather than just researching it would be more interesting to write and read about, as I can write about my own experience. Therefore, I have decided on writing about my own image.
