Handtinting has been an accepted art technique since Victorian times when subtle and charming effects were created on portraits and postcards. Today it has been rediscovered by photographers all over the world as an exciting way of enhancing their work. Handtinting Photographs takes the reader through the history of the art from the early Victorian prints to the garish, exuberant photographs of the thirties; from the fashion shots of the seventies to the handtinted pop videós of the eighties.
Practical step-by-step chapters reveal the myriad of ways in which modern handtinters create their dramatic effects using watercolours, photographic dyes, blendable pencils and oil colours, masking and airbrushing, blending and bleaching back. In addition, invaluable 'before-and-after' photographs show how and why the artist chose to handtint the picture and comparisons reveal the dramatic change of emphasis. This is followed by an inspirational gallery of beautiful work from the world of fashion, advertising and pop music as well as fine examples of landscapes and still lifes.
From the professional with access to darkroom facilities to the amateur with little more than a black-and-white print and a paintbrush, this book will inspire and stimulate anyone who is interested in photography, illustration and graphic design.
