Darkroom Printing
Each photographic collaboration is created with artist and technician Katrina Stamatopoulos.
Working across both colour and black & white darkrooms, Katrina works closely with artists and photographers to produce photographic prints to their unexpected potential. With a deep respect for the photographic process and a sensitivity towards materials, Katrina approaches every project uniquely, depending on the ideas culminated in the imagery and intentions of the work.
Depending on whether you are searching for accuracy with results, or more of a collaborative approach to making new imagery through the printing process, Katrina has a broad range of experience to assist you in developing your work.
Prints can be made up to 20 x 24” (larger formats are available for photo-emulsion or site-specific projects). Katrina specialises in a diverse range of darkroom techniques, including photograms, chemigrams, cross-printing, collage printing, solarisation, hand-colouring, and working with photo-emulsion.
Katrina works with a variety of professionals and darkrooms across London to bridge expertise and connect ideas. Get in touch to discuss a project.
