Photographica

Photographica is an old-fashioned way of saying photographs. It was coined by one of the inventors of photography, William Henry Fox Talbot. The projects on this page reflect different approaches to image-making from calotype on handmade paper in Of Fibre & Light, to Above, featuring a digital pinhole image crafted into a 35 foot wide pigment print, to the effluviographs from Below, a 19th century term for spirit photographs.
