Lith.


– some lith prints on foma matte nature 532-11 using LD20

concentration- A-30ml + B-30ml + 1600ml H20 @ 21’c + 400ml old brown to make up 2l working solution in a 12 x 16 tray.

There’s something about printing lith that feels right. Unlike conventional B&W there’s much more subjective control in the actual printing and trying to find a method to the seemingly random madness of the lith chemical is kind of interesting. Lith printing process has this kind of quality about it that forces you to improvise a lot more.

  1. Love your photos! I would love you follow you….

    I have a major new year’s resolution — to take a photo a day and compellingly explain the visual… think i can do it? I hope you walk with me in the journey!

  4. Striking compositions; each possessing a hint of mystery. Perhaps that’s partially due to what you describe as the randomness inherent in the printing process? Whatever’s behind it, these pictures are astonishing.

  6. Wow. I always love hearing about different photographic processes and seeing the results. Photography has such an interesting history. Someone needs to keep the old processes alive.

  8. I have always enjoyed the Lith process. I have never thought my work looks like developed through the process but I believe it can be very useful at times. People often confuse Kodalith film and the Lith process as the same thing. The latter is more difficult and hard to master due to the sometimes random development process.

    Glad to see you enjoy the process!

  11. I graduated in Art, but never tried this medium. I think as an illustrator, I would have really enjoyed this!
    Excellent work!
    Congrats on being Freshly Pressed!

  13. Beautiful work! I love the sense of motion in the top picture, and the light in the penultimate.

    And I love that I just found a use for the word “penultimate,” because it happens to be my favorite word. ;)

    Congrats on being Freshly Pressed!
