A dying art photolaboratory printing: as cult images edited without photoshop

And you wonder how the footage of the masters turned into iconic images printed? Pablo Inirio (Pablo Inirio), master of the darkroom, working on the editorial office of Magnum Photos in new York, personally worked on some of the most famous images photo Agency. Pictures with its markings, appeared on the Internet, give an idea of how much attention was paid to every image in a dark room to frame the master turned into a masterpiece.

Sarah Coleman at The Literate Lens from writesthat in a small darkroom, Inirio full of such notes studded with pictures. And among them a lot of images were among the most famous in the history of photography.

The gallery presents the Dennis Drain, which depicted James Dean on times square in new York city in 1955. The test printout on top demonstrates the kind of work done, Inirio to result photography became to be what she is know the audience. The lines and circles he marked the place in the frame that are subject to lightening and darkening; numbers scattered throughout the image are marked with different exposure time.

Coleman doubts that this kind of magic will remain in our digital age:

"Over the last fifteen years, almost every photographer I interviewed, poetically described the experience for the first time seen the "magic" of the process of developing image during chemical processing. You have to wonder whether today's young photographers with the same delight to tell you about the first time they have calibrated your monitor".
