The following
images are all 16" x 20" "Lith Prints." Lith processing is a
method of working in the darkroom to create extremely beautiful
prints with rich blacks delicately colored midtones and bright
white highlights. The technique involves heavily over-exposing
a black and white negative onto a suitable black and white paper
and then only partially developing it in a very dilute Lith
A/B developer. This method produces subtly colorful monochrome
prints with special properties and characteristics in terms
of tonal distribution and response to toners. The flexibility
of the method offers limitless ways of interpreting a negative
and produces prints quite different in appearance from the usual
processes. The excitement and charm of the method is that, if
desired, each print may be unique, each one more exquisite than
the last.
