24.01.2022 Finishing Hand Made Prints with Gum Arabic

24.01.2022 Mat Hughes. Photographic Artist. Managed to squeeze in a quick printing session today proofing images from this weeks studio shoot. The old vase and flower photo may have been done to death but its a fierce exercise and therein lies the challenge and the beauty. #mathughesphotographer #elwood #vandykeprint #4x5 #archespaper #analoguephotography #australianartists #bluethumbartist #buyphotography #melbournegalleries #alternativeprocess #stilllifephotography #lovephotography @ Mat Hughes.

From 4x5 pinhole camera. #mathughesphotographer #vandykebrown #vandykebrownprint #alternativeprocessphotography #alternativeprocess #largeformatprinting #pinholephotography #sheoakfalls #greatoceanroadart #elwood #melbourneartgallery #australianartist #buyphotography

20.01.2022 Howdy People, Print Sale. The following handmade print is for sale and will help fund my photographic practice and the purchase of materials. ... In order to keep the price as low as possible, this print is not bonded and nor does it include a cardboard matte. The reference photographs were made with a camera phone and should provide a fairly reasonable indication. Postage kills. The print price does not include postage. For most places in the world it costs $25AU under 500g (includes tracking). I will split this cost with you 50/50. Background: This handmade print is a from a series of four made earlier this year, see series reference print (do not micro compare against this reference print). The print is currently untitled. The stone was collected from The St. George River, Victoria, Australia and photographed in the studio. Workflow: Digital>Digital Negative>Hand coated Hahnemuhle Platinum Rag>Toned by hand (tannic acid) Print title: Untitled stone #1 Process: Hand printed & toned cyanotype print Paper size: 11’x15’ Image size: 19cm x 26cm measured to include brush marks $95 AU (+$12.50 AU postage) Note: In my own photographic practice this print would firstly be bonded and then finished by hand with gum Arabic and bees wax. I am happy to complete these additional steps if interested, price by negotiation. Untitled stones #2 & #3 will follow shortly. If you are interested in the three prints as a series, message me now. Cheers Mat Hughes

19.01.2022 Howdy People, This is the time of year where I should be finalizing a print or two for the "Friends of Photography Group" Exhibition at the Brunswick Street Gallery. Obviously there is no physical exhibition this year and whats more, there have been no group meetings or field trips. But that my friends has not stopped this rowdy rabble from doing the thing they love. Behind the scenes the air has been thick with email exchanges as people navigate their lives with restrictions... and yet still manage to produce work. I am pleased to say that a selection of recent work by the Friends of Photography Group is now available for you to view online. Enjoy. Mat http://www.friendsopg.org/Gallery/Gallery-3/ #analoguephotography #brunswickstreetgallery #melbourneart #photographicexhibition #filmphotography

10.01.2022 Mat Hughes. Photographic Artist. Here's another from Elwood Bridges. For those into the technical side of art practice, I include a little bit below about my thinking behind the photograph. Good weekend folks! . . . "I should point out that for these images, I wasnt after evenly spaced blocks of tone across the full range. I was more interested in isolating the mid-tone highlights that form the structure of the composition and then wallowing in the murky shadows that are so characteristic of VDB in a pictorialist style" #pinholephotography #vandykeprint #alternativeprocessphotography #elwoodcanal #elwood #darkroomprint #analoguephotography #buyphotography #australianartists #filmphotography #largeformatprinting #4x5photography #melbourneartist

10.01.2022 Mat Hughes. Photographic Artist. In between banging my head against the wall teaching subtraction to a 7 year old, I managed to get some preliminary studio work done. Step 1. Strap a couple of cheap magnifying glass lenses to the front of my 4x5 check. Step 2. Work out f-stop check. Step 3. Chill out, forget subtraction and compose... #mathughesphotographer #elwood #homeschoolinglife #4x5 #largeformatphotography #studiophotography #bluethumbartist #buyphotography #analoguephotography #stilllifephotography #melbourneartist @ Mat Hughes.
