They say that photography is the eternal struggle of the shadow with the light. It is all about the light. Light is one of the most important components of the life on the Earth. Photography is impossible without it. And the most powerful source of the light is the Sun. It is also the only source of light that I use while taking photos. 
Photography tends to capture the objects within milliseconds. But the way light works, changes, develops is hardly visible within such a short period of time. The photographers are trying to shorten the exposure time as much as they can. What I have been doing recently it is capturing the light in its development and change. The minimal exposure time of my photos is 15 minutes and the maximal figure may reach a few hours. 
To make this possible I am using the technology of resinotype. It was invented in 1920s by Rodolfo Namias (an Italian chemist and photographer) who took powder process as its basis. Compared with the classical "dusting-on" process, the resinotype is giving less muddy and more vigorous images, preserving the characteristic velvety aspect and allowing a large possibility of manual intervention on the image. It was generated as an alternative way of printing.
However, what I am doing is not simply copying an already printed photo on a paper for resinotype printing. Based on this, I developed a new technology which gave ma an opportunity to realize my ideas.I am placing the paper into a self-made camera (format: 27x35 and 9x12) and taking photos immediately on it. The photos taken in this way are not possible to be copied or duplicated, they are unique.

My name is Armen and surname is Ter-Mkrtchyan. I was born on the twenty-ninth of November in 1963 in Leninakan, Armenia. In 1981 I finished 23rd primary school and admitted Leninakan’s 49th professional college. In 1982 I graduated from the college getting qualification for the editor of radio equipment. Till 1992 I had been working at the same college as a master of vocational training. In 1988 I continued my studies at Saint-Petersburg State Art Academy and finished it in 1994 getting degree in film direction. As a main director I was working at "Shirak" State TV Radio Studio from 1993 till 1995. During these years I was interested in photography. As a photographer I was working at the Centre of Contemporary Art from 2000 till 2003. During 2009-2010 I was a lecturer and was teaching cinematography at Gyumri branch of Yerevan State institute of Cinema and Theatre. From 2016 till 2017 as a lecturer I was teaching at Gyumri branch of Yerevan State academy of fine art. In recent years I have participated in several group exhibitions and projects in Armenia and abroad.
