A few more Chlorophyll prints on leaves from my Darkroom Photography class this semester. These are made by exposing digital negatives on the leaves for 3-18 days in full sun using a contact printer. The "negatives" are digital photographs laser printed onto transparencies. #spinach #chlorophyll #chlorophyllprint #chlorophyllprints #portraits #altprocess #altprocessphotography #contactprint #spinachleaves #grapeleaves #hydrangealeaves
