30 Unique And Interesting Photos To Give You A New Perspective On Photography, As Shared On This FB Group
In a world full of different ways to show off what you love through art, there's a whole lot to choose from. If you're into making things that you can see, like pictures or drawings, there's more out there than just taking photos or drawing on your computer.
Sure, lots of people know about those, but there are some cool and unique ways to make art that not everyone knows about.
Have you ever heard of gum bichromate, kallitype, or chrysotype? They might sound like fancy science terms, but they're special ways to make pictures using some cool chemistry tricks.
Each one has its special recipe and steps to follow, making pictures that look different from what you'd get with a camera or a filter on your phone.
There's this big group on Facebook called "Alternative Photographic Processes" where over 48,000 people who love these unique ways of making art come together. They post pictures of their art for everyone to see and talk about how they made them.
It's like a big online club where everyone is sharing and showing off their cool art projects. The pictures these folks make are something special. You can find portraits that look like they're from another time, or pictures with details so fine you'd think they're magic.
And the gold-toned pictures made with chrysotype? They're like little pieces of history that glow.
