Chemical Photography

Chemical photography is a traditional process where images are captured on light-sensitive materials like film. When exposed to light through a camera lens, the film's chemicals react, creating a latent image. This film is then developed using chemical solutions that make the image visible and permanent. The process involves steps like exposure, development, fixing, and washing, transforming the captured scene into a tangible photograph. This method relies on chemical reactions rather than digital sensors, resulting in photographs with unique tonal qualities and detail associated with film. Chemical photography remains valued for its aesthetic and archival qualities.
