On the one hand, these techniques create colors and textures that make the landscape appear ethereal, otherworldly and mysterious – they express the awe and inspiration that we might feel being there," Morton said. "These techniques evoke two things: the sublime and magical qualities of the land, and the fragility and uncertainty of its future. The acidity in these solutions warps the film, creating a variety of effects that speak to the sublime qualities of these landscapes, as well as their uncertain future. It degrades the shadow areas of silver gelatin prints, lifting the emulsion off the paper to create unique textures and veils.įilm soaking, also known as "film soup," is a process by which color film is soaked in ordinary household solutions, such as wine, beer, lemon juice, yogurt and dishwashing fluid. Mordançage is a black and white process that was developed in the 1960's by French photographer Jean-Pierre Sudre. That's because Morton implements a couple of analog techniques – mordançage and film soaking. You might notice something unusual about these photos, as if they were taken in another realm.
