About Personal Timeframes (week-long exposures)
PARTICIPATE! Please Upload photographs of personal spaces taken using exposures of one week or longer! Explanation and basic instructions below...
Since November 2010 I have been working on a project called Personal Time-frames. It is an investigation into personal spaces using an extremely long exposure photographic process, similar to the Solargraphy process of Justin Quinnel and Tarja Trigg. In October I was announced by Peter Marlow as the 'Conceptual' category winner of the Ideas Tap Magnum Photos Award 2011. I have now put the project on the back-burner to focus on new work for the final round of the Ideas Tap Magnum Photos Award.
The idea of this group is continue the project in a wide participatory way and to hopefully collate a large typology of 'Personal Time-frames' from around the world.
YOU WILL NEED
1. ANY ANALOGUE CAMERA WITH A BULB SETTING WILL WORK BUT I FIND OLD BOX CAMERAS WITH A 'T' SHUTTER SETTING THE MOST USEFUL
2. Black and White Photo Paper (FOGGED BUT NOT DISCOLOURED)
BASIC INSTRUCTIONS
Step1) Put Black and White photo paper in the back of a camera where the film normally goes. UNDER VERY DIMMED LIGHT
Step 2) Compose shot
Step 3) Open shutter - you will need a cable release locked on your camera's bulb setting or a 'T' shutter setting
Step 4) Expose for a least one week
Step 5) Remove paper from camera and flat-bed scan then invert (YOU CANNOT DEVELOP OR FIX THE IMAGE) the process is digital from here.
If this is confusing look at the link to Tarja Trygg's or Justin Quinnell's website for the solargraphy process. The process is the same but here you will use a lensed camera rather than pinhole.
