Melanie in Boca Raton (2012)

Love the window lighting and textured finish.

Had to look up "kallitype." Having done a few VanDyke brownprints myself, hat's off to you. Getting the digital negative right was quite a lot of work for me.

Exposed in sunlight? Or UV baker?

Acere, thank you. It's not an easy negative to print. I appreciate the compliment.

Even after mastering the process generally, I've been struggling with the digital negatives to get the skin tones right. This was a test print for a new curve -- it seems to work well so far.

I expose under a homemade UV lightbox, made from inexpensive party black lights from eBay. Good thing: It was a gloomy overcast day when I printed this one.
