PICTORIALISM


-Pictorialism is images that are altered by hand scratching or brushing the negatives to soften or blur certain parts of the photograph during the printing process.
-People that used this process were called Pictorialists, and they sought to differentiate their work from amateur photographers.
* They also used combination printing (multiple negatives), soft focus on their camera, and gum bichromate.
- Gum bichromate greatly lessened the detail and produced more of an artistic image.
