I’ve learnt photographic processing but I’m still a beginner.
Processing one of my first pictures, I was in the darkroom and I moved by mistake one photographic paper while it was on the enlarger. I didn’t want to throw it away and I decided to process it anyway.
When I saw the latent image becoming a visible image I was quite surprised. The tree looked like a cobweb!
During the creative process, chance can be wonderful; and a mistake may lead to a good result.
Afterwards, I started to experiment superimposing images, specially pictures from the human body with details of the nature.
