Sun Prints FROM THE PUBLISHER
In sun printing, a process invented by William Henry Fox Talbot in the 1830s, natural sunlight is used to produce an image on plain paper treated with a mixture of minerals without a darkroom. Linda McCartney began experimenting with this technique early in her career, and the results are some of her finest photographs. Uniquely combining the spontaneity of modern photography with the subtlety of old printing methods, here are richly-hued portraits of family and friends as well as moody, deeply-shadowed landscapes and still lifes-reproduced in their rich brown or deep blue tones.
Author Biography: Linda McCartney photographed for over 30 years and her work has been exhibited in more than 70 cities in 12 countries. Her previous books include the bestselling Linda McCartney's Sixties (1992), Roadworks (1994), and Wide Open (1999), as well as several cookbooks.
