THE OIL-INK PRINT: VELVETY, INTENSE & UNALTERABLE
About the process
Bromoil (or oleobromide, oleotype) is a process from the early days of photography. The softness and painterly rendering of the prints are typical of this genre and have recently led fine-art photographers to use this method again.
Bromoil is a hybrid process where a silver print is chemically treated then hand-inked with greasy inks. Each brush stroke is a unique gesture, giving an incomparable pictorial character to the photographic image.
Recommended files: High-definition TIFF or JPEG (300 dpi). We create the digital negative.
