This is quite possibly our favorite aspect of what we do. Having a background in film, we love alternative processes! And we look forward to applying some of our experimental knowledge to your next event. Alternative processes are not alway avant-garde, some have very desirable results. All of these are available for your session.
Click on the photos to see examples of each process.

*We are always finding new processes.
If we have not listed something you are interested in, please do not hesitate to ask.

This is our most requested process, probably because it's the only one that will work with both film and digital photography. This process is entirely done after the fact. We take a photo and actually press the ink into a receiving medium, such as paper or fabric. You have your choice of size and medium, please inquire for a list of possibilities.

Let us make you a one of a kind piece of artwork from one of your images.

This is Megan's favorite process. This is quite literally an endurance test for film. It involves underexposing slide film and then developing it first in a black and white developer and bleach and then developing it in regular color chemistry. The results are completely unpredictable but never disappointing. It shifts colors, enhances grain and sometimes does things that we could not even warn about. This process is not for the light of heart and is very time consuming. Please inquire for prices.

This is a process that is often mimicked digitally, but never very well. This is a process of processing slide film in the regular color film chemistry, warping the colors and boosting the contrast. The results are not always, but very often this green-blue color depending on the film. Usually the color is very unpredictable, but we have done this so much, we can usually pick out a film if you have a color preference. The best part of this process are the black and white converted shots you can get. It gives some of the best black and whites.

Yes, you read that right. You can develop film with coffee. It's a fairly simple (but very smelly) process, but the results are that the negatives are stained brown, giving very old time sepia tones. This process must be seen as an experiment sometimes you don't get very many usable shots, but the ones you do get are well worth the effort.

This is one of the simpler processes we offer. This is merely shooting 35mm film in a camera that is designed to hold a larger film format, making the exposure go all the way up into the sprocked holes. Why put a digital border on your photo when you can have the real thing?

This is available with color, black and white, or slide film as well as in conjuction with cross processing.

This is a process not usually used commercially. This processes is when you shoot color film but you shoot through the film backwards, which makes all the shots a variation of red (think of the red color of negatives). The only colors that show through this process are red and black.

This is the least predictable of our processes. Basically, this is the earliest form of photography: no lens - just a box of light sensitive material with a hole in it. It is all about timing and distance. We have several cameras, some purchased ready made and some that we made ourselves.

This process cannot be used in a rushed session. We must have more time to compose these shots, especially at night.

This can be done with color, black and white, or cross processed slide film.
