Until last summer, I hadn't shot regularly analogue since I was a little kid with a fascination for cameras. In 2023 I've discovered alternative photographic processes and then darkroom printing, and I fell in love (immensely, I might add).
After two sessions of printing in the darkroom, I started making one of my own at home. My current spare time is spent in a state of fascination for the unknown, and filled with photograms and chemigrams in expired paper.
Currently, in the digital realm, I'm learning about microscopy and chasing a dialogue between photography and science, that I hope to later connect to alternative photographic processes.

Welcome aboard @AnaC!

Yeah, that's a sweet combination. Have fun with it! Alt. process printing was my 'gateway drug' to large format photography and I've stuck with it since I got into it. Very addictive!

Olá @AnaC ! Bem-vinda!
Great to finally notice there are more Portuguese members here. It's been kind of lonely.
