Digital Negative Creation and Kallitipias Workshop on April 6 and 7 is now on the Analog Inside website!!! Only 6 places!!!
You can reserve your place through this website: Workshop on digital negatives and Kallitipias creation.
You also have the possibility to book the workshop together with the accommodation in the following apartments "Torre de la Yerba" (300m from the Plaza Mayor) (300m from the Plaza Mayor) (Only 3 places): Workshop creation of digital negatives and Kallitipias + accommodation 2 nights (Friday and Saturday).
It is a 12h workshop and the schedule is Saturday from 10:00 - 14:00 h and from 16:00 - 20:00 h and Sunday from 10:00 - 14:00 h.
Kallitipia and Van Dyke brown, originally called "sepia copy", are two very similar processes
and were discovered practically at the same time. Both are based on
ferric and silver salts. The name "Van Dyke Brown" was given 40 to 50 years after
its invention because of its similarity to the tones of Anton Van Dyke's paintings. In the workshop,
we will focus more on the kallitipia process invented in 1889 by Scottish chemist and
photographer W.W.J. Nicols for its greater tonal range and retention of detail in the
shadows.
The objective of the workshop is to learn this contact printing technique, as well as
and the necessary knowledge to generate digital negatives adapted to the process
with which to work.
Negative calibration is a fundamental part of the workshop and of the work that we will have to do if our objective is to obtain copies with historical processes that correspond 100% with the digital image that we have obtained and processed. The copying processes do not have a linear tone curve and therefore, we will have to adjust our negative to each process we are going to use.
