First practised in the 1830s, salt printing is one of the earliest photographic processes. It produces prints with a soft tonal range, subtle contrast and a distinctive matte surface.
This kit provides the essential preparations and instruments required to produce hand-coated salt prints using silver nitrate and a traditional salting solution. Designed for practitioners who value process, material understanding and careful working methods.
Each kit is prepared in small batches in the U.K.
