lumen prints

​Lumen prints are made using expired darkroom paper (the papers I use most often are Ilford Multigrade and Kentmere VC Select, mainly because they are widely available and not too expensive). Botanical subjects are then placed on to the paper, covered with glass and then exposed to the sun for varying amounts of time - different papers can produce very different colour tones in the final result.
