Darkroom Dynamics

Back in print 35 years after it was first published, Jim Stone's classic darkroom manual provides step-by-step instructions for alternative creative darkroom techniques for experimental and manipulated photography. Each technique, presented by a photographer who is an expert in its application, includes how-to illustrations and reproductions of the photographer's work. Perfect for students of darkroom photography, including those interested in experimental photography and alternative processing.

Jim Stone is a Professor of Photography at the University of New Mexico and the author of several monographs and educational books on photography, including those he co-authored with Barbara London (Photography, A Short Course in Photography: Film, A Short Course in Photography: Digital). His photographs have been exhibited and published internationally and are in the permanent collections of major museums.
