📸 Technique Thursday: Self portraiture

Now known as a selfie, self portraits date back to as early as 1839 by Robert Cornelius, one of the earliest pioneers taking a portrait with daguerreotype! Although this is more of a genre and style of art that expands over all mediums of art, photographically its techniques are still innovatively applicable till this day. Self portraits’ vastness in ex*****on extends to its legacy.

Zachary Stephens (Zachary Garrett Stephens) adopts self portraits within an intimate family setting reflecting moments of fatherhood and family relationships captured in a second. Stop by the current EXPOSURES 2026 exhibition now to see his photographs in detail.

Created by current PRC Summer Intern Briana Chen as part of our ongoing Technique Thursday series.

📸 We’re late by a day, but here’s this week’s Technique Thursday: Silver Gelatin Print

Dated as one of the best techniques for stability, silver gelatin prints was invented since the 1870s by a group of innovators, scientists, and photographers such as Richard Leach Maddox, Peter Mawdsley, George Eastman, Josef Marie Eder, Giuseppe Pizzighelli, and Sir William de Wiveleslie Abney.

This chemical white and black process has gelatin layers containing silver salts into a light sensitive emulsion. Its sharp and glowing appearance is seen in Bell Beecher Pitkin’s intimate print. Due to its arduous process, silver gelatin prints are a craft of its own!

Created by current PRC Summer Intern Briana Chen as part of our ongoing Technique Thursday series.
