Classic yacht “Sardonyx”. Solarised silver gelatin print on Ilford paper. This image, of a 1950s racing yacht was taken in bright light and solarised in the darkroom to partially reverse the final image to negative. The process is difficult to predict or control, making each print unique and fascinating. In this case it outlines key details beautifully, creating a ghostly image of the yacht sailing hard on the wind.
The image size is 8” x 6” approx on 10”x8” paper (14” x 12” mounted). The print border is rendered black due to the solarisation process.
