Digital Media Foundations: An Introduction for Artists and Designers

Routledge

Many of today's most innovative photographers are pushing their work beyond the boundaries of the traditional silver-gelatin print. Liberated from the restrictions of common photographic paper's size and surface, these artists seek to exploit the tactile, painterly, often emotional qualities offered by such processes as photogravure, Polaroid transfer and Kwik Print, three-dimensional construction and collage, hand coloring, bleaching, toning, Cyanotype, and even computer-aided photography. 
This book is an exploration into the works, thoughts, and inspirations of seventeen photographer/artists investigating the aesthetic impact of the non-traditional print.
