I believe readers will be intrigued by what I was doing in the early 1960's whilst using Kodachrome.
My own invented technique was a unique form of 'Painting with Light' where the projected images were blended and manipulated with crystals, reflections, textures, and coloured filters.
The images were not always projected onto a screen, and the chosen screen often became the subject of the picture; for example, I have photographed projected images; on a feather, a flower, a shell, a leaf, a butterfly wing, and even on to the edges of the pages of a book. Images can be blended too, by using more than one projector.
See 'Special Effects - The Magic Lantern' at my website, which explains exactly how my award-winning photographs were created without computers, or any darkroom chemistry!
My most famous picture was 'Spirit of Spring' - this was the first ever picture taken on Kodachrome, that included both a negative of a tulip, and a positive image of a girl's portrait, all on the same emulsion!
"...regarded as one of Britain's most original photographers." The Times.
"A woman's face was exquisitely metamorphosed with the cup of a yellow tulip - a Femme - Fleur Picasso might have perpetrated had he taken to photography." Arts Revue.
"Very marketable as well as interesting and adventurous in themselves with congratulations." Cecil Beaton C.B.E.
"extends the boundaries of the possible in photography, and shows us all how we can do so too." Sir George PollockBt., M.A. (Former President of The Royal Photographic Society 1978)
