SEPIA COLLECTION

Some early 35mm, negative work of Cornwall by Mark Blezard.

​

One of my first projects in the late '80s was to record Cornwall and reproduce in sepia. These retro pictures were shot in black & white 35 film negative, using my Canon A1, and then hand-printed before bleaching and re-toning as sepia. A vignette was adding during exposure in the darkroom. As it transpired, the collection became a best seller and sold throughout Cornish galleries and beyond. The success led to dozens of darkroom hours each week!
