Black and White Silver Prints

View this Collection


All black and white photographs are archivally processed hand pulled selenium toned, gelatin/silver prints made from original photographic negatives by Robb Siverson. Prints are window matted with 4-ply, acid- free mat board.  All prints are signed in pencil on the front of the photograph at the lower right corner of the print.  No digital manipulation is used at any stage of the process.


 

 



 

 

 


When You Can't Stop Thinking About Nothing

View this Collection


"When You Can't Stop Thinking About Nothing" is from an ongoing series that started in 2002. With this particular  body of work, subjects are allowed to wander in obscure, sometimes uncomfortable situations. With drawn out titles, evoking an intimate frame of mind, a variety of aspects concerning the human psyche are captured on film.  A unique chemical process is then applied creating a painterly quality to the image, making each photograph a truly unique one of a kind.

 

 


Bromide Stained Landscapes

View this Collection


The Bromide Stained Landscape is one of my recent bodies of work that captures the ironic nature of Humanity's interaction with the environment. These environments are often overlooked and ignored, abused and taken for granted. The same chemicals that Humanity is thoughtlessly discarding into nature are used here to conjure forth subtle hues of color to the photographic paper, developed through a process of besieging the traditional gelatin silver print with chemically treated brushes and sponges. Through this process what would normally destroy natural beauty instead calls into being a cornucopia of concealed colors. This technique creates a one-of-a-kind image that transforms the traditional black and white photograph into a representational form of reality.

Bromide Reproductions

View this Collection


After photographing the image with his large and medium format cameras, Robb manipulates the print with a process known as "Bromide Staining."  This is a unique chemical process that adds subtle hues of color to the traditional black and white photographic paper, which leaves the image with a painterly quality. Using the original image, Robb then scans the photograph with a highly calibrated scanner, which is then reproduced on Fuji Crystal Archive photographic paper.
