Chlorophyll Printing
This workshop will make you look at the green leaves of spring and summer a little differently! Chlorophyll printing is the process of using the internal chemistry of the leaf as your photographic paper. The cells of your leaf become the equivalent of pixels on a digital image or silver halides on an analogue print. This is one of the most sustainable and low-impact photographic techniques, solely relying on light and leaf.
All live sessions are recorded and made available for a week following the course. This also includes times for any feedback questions.
Sessions are 2 hours

Hannah Fletcher is an artist, working with cameraless photographic processes, founder of The Sustainable Darkroom, Co-director of London Alternative Photography Collective and a facilitator of sustainability within the arts.
Hannah works with and researches the many intricate relationships between photographic and not-so photographic materials. Intertwining organic matter such as soils, algae, mushrooms and roots into photographic mediums and surfaces. Fletcher questions the life cycle and value of materials by incorporating waste from her studio and workshops back into the system of making. Working in an investigative, ritualistic and environmentally conscious manner, she combines scientific techniques with photographic processes, creating dialogue and fusions between the poetic and political.
