Non-Silver Overview Non-silver processes are alternative photographic processes that differ from basic Black and White photography in their use of metallic compounds. As the name suggests, the chemicals do not rely on silver for making their prints, and therefore use other light sensitive materials. Fundamentally, the non-silver processes behave as follows; by spreading one of these solutions across a paper and exposing it to actinic light with a light resistant negative in between, an image is resolved on the paper. Understandably, the procedures are much more complex than this, allowing for personal and professional acuity to be developed, refining images into highly precise and highly crafted works. For my purpose, however, explaining it this simply will suffice. The three processes I'm going to experiment with are Vandyke Brown, Cyanotype, and the Ammonium Dichromate portion of the Gum Bichromate process. Acknowledgements I'd like to thank Sarah Van Keuren for her guidance and the use of her published work, "A Non-Silver Manual" whereby all of my technical considerations concerning the non-silver processes have been derived. Thank you to Jason Miller, Heather Thombs, and Elizabeth Williams for their printers and printer cartridges. Thank you K.L. Koval-Bauer and MMStudio for the encouragement and continued support during the experiment.
