Even when you have a love of film and traditional darkroom practices, there’s always room for alternative photo process experimentation as ecological photo-artist Josie Purcell knows well.
OVERVIEW
I am a photographer, but trying to explain that I specialise in photographic processes that may not include a camera has led me to describing myself a photographic artist.
My passion for photography began in secondary school. There was a darkroom in the art class, but it was never used; it acted like a bea...
