Oriel Street - handmade silver-chemistry photograph

Wendy Stone makes photographs slowly on film and paper using remarkable cameras and silver-based photographic chemistry, processes and printing. Her cameras range from 60 to 130 years old and she uses roll film, sheet film, paper and even glass plates to create images.

This is a view of one of Wendy's many 'favourite' Oxford streetlamps, on Oriel Street, part of her 'Low Light and Shadows' series capturing Oxford in spring and summer. Taken with her Sanderson ‘Regular’ quarter-plate camera, which is over 120 years old, and developed and printed at Oxford Darkrooms.

She says: "This streetlamp on Oriel Street comes with a glimpse through to the High Street with University church opposite. When the sun climbs higher these walls are all in shadow, so I was working fast to catch the light."

This print is presented unframed, in a conservation-grade mount
