Zhao Hua Hong, Bound feet series - Silver Gelatin Limited Edition Photograph

Award winner - Women in Photography (WIP) judged by Mary Ellen Mark. Zhao Hua Hong outside her home, 2010. 1927-2012 Signed Limited Edition of 25 This is a silver gelatin print, each print is unique, processed by me in my own darkroom. Shot with a Hasselblad analogue camera and ilford black and white film. The moment I picked up a Hasselblad I fell in love it. The images I can produce with it have so much depth. I think analogue photography is an art form, with only 12 frames on a roll you have to be precise in every aspect. This extends to the printing of silver gelatin prints in the darkroom, where the process of creating a fine art print is such a rewarding experience. You are bringing life into your work. All my photographs are printed full-frame showing the black negative borders, I don’t believe in cropping after the fact, it should be done in camera. I also think that using a Hasselblad 503C is very apt for photographing traditions and cultures that are dying out as the majority of professional photographers are turning to digital now. I have an understanding with Ilford film and photography paper, through experience I know what works and what does not, I don’t need to mess around with trial and error and am extremely happy with the results. www.jofarrell.com www.livinghistory.photography
