Light Chamber Exposure
Using a uniquely made camera system I created calledLight Chamber Exposure, or LCE, is comprised of a specialized Polaroid/ or film back back, a 4x5 view-camera, 35mm film projector, watercolor and dyes, a darkroom timer, hand-made dodging and burning tools, tissue papers, and etched glass sheets. LCE uniquely blends the traditional darkroom and alternative photographic processes by replacing the enlarger with a projector, uses painted slide positives instead of negative film, and a enlarger timer allowing unique dodging and burning effects.
How the image is captured is one way LCE differs from traditional dodging and burning: Instead of exposing light onto sensitive paper in a wet darkroom, a Polaroid or unexposed film sit opposite an etched glass plate and a 35mm projector. Like the traditional darkroom were the artist will burn (selectively add exposure) and dodge (selectively block exposure) an image onto light sensitive paper, with LCE the camera itself acts as the capturing and captured medium.
