Looking for a chemist to work on a historic photographic process.

[tom p]

Hello,

I’m a photographer working on a research project based on a historic photographic process. I’m in search of a chemist to help with the chemical formula. I will be working with ferrics particularly ferric tartrate photosensitizer.

I’m looking for someone competent in working with chemicals based in the UK, preferably in the south, but that’s not essential.

Best,
Tom

Hey Tom,

It might be worth dropping Mike Ware a message. He might be able to put you in touch with someone suitable.

Thanks Lucid, i have been speaking with Mike, unfortunately he currently does not have the capacity to assist with the project.

Ian, it's Herschel's Breath Process.

Try contacting Paul Ellis at PhotoFusion, Brixton's close to you than I am (Worcestershire) I could probably help (I was a photo-chemist0 but my wife's health isn't good so I can't make commitments. The foods good around Brixton

Thanks Ian, I did some initial tests with Paul at Photofusion a while ago. I need to work on the chemistry before i conduct the next tests at Photofusion.
