Questions
What exactly is film soup?
Film soup is process by which one chemically laters the emulsion on film before exposing it to light by using a variety of substances like citric acid, nail polish remover, vinegar, battery acid, food color, soap, and any other number of liquids you seek to expatrient with. The result is film that appears almost pre filtered and abstract, light leaks, streak and booths are all part of the process and the beauty here.
How do you create your prints?
All these prints originate from chemically altered film called film soup. After being shot on a camera the negatives are scanned and then the most minimal of edits are made (talking resizing and formatting for the print on demand market) the colors and imperfections you see in these frames are a direct result of the film and chemistry used in both pre and post shooting process. As such its real luck of the draw how each frame will turn out and what result it will yield.
What makes you different?
