Description
The images reproduced in this book are photographed by Chloe Sells in Botswana, using large and medium format cameras that use film. The work is later printed in a traditional darkroom. The darkroom process is spontaneous and consuming, layering light, texture and form to interact with photographic alchemy. Some of the images are drawn on after they have been printed with paint and marker. Because of Sells method of working, each outcome is unique.
