Hacking the Digital Print: Alternative image capture and printmaking processes with a special section on 3D printing
Description
Don’t bother reading this book unless you’re ready
to get your hands dirty. InÂżHacking the Digital Print,Âżartist Bonny
Lhotka redefines what it means to be a photographer. For one thing,
you don't always need Photoshop to alter the reality you capture
through your lens. In this book, you’ll learn how to create
unique images using tools you make and modify yourself. Lhotka
shows you how to use analog distortion filters, custom textures,
and lens modifiers to create images that look
like¿you¿made them, not an app. You’ll also
learn how to re-create classic printmaking techniques using
non-toxic digital alternatives, including a water-based transfer
solution that’s safe to use anywhere, whether it’s the
studio, classroom, or kitchen counter. Anyone can push a button and create a nice print–there is
little challenge in getting a high-quality image out of a desktop
printer these days. Lhotka shows you how to take your work to the
next level by printing on materials such as wood, glass, plastics,
and metal. For the truly adventurous, Lhotka shares her custom
techniques for taking photographs and applying them to 3D-printed
objects created with popular consumer 3D printers. Part artist/part mad scientist, Lhotka has spent many hours
experimenting, hacking, and tearing things apart to discover new
ways to take, make, and print images. She encourages you to take
the techniques you’ll learn in this book, hack them, and make
them your own. With some techniques you will fail. It will be
messy. You will try and have to try again. But in the process, you
will make your own exciting discoveries, find solutions to your own
problems, and create a body of work that is uniquely yours.
