RACING REPORT

My report is a synthesis of many reports about racing world. The original shots were performed with negative film, end later on , hand printed in dark room on Kodak paper with personal research technique .Each print was made only one specimen.

My name is Paolo Romani

I am a researcher in color printing from negative in the darkroom.

My story:

from more than forty years I have searched a new way on printing of color photography from negative, with only technical craft and manual.

In 1981, I submitted to Kodak of Rochester a my patent for the printing of the color negative in the dark room, with enlarger, to locate a free printing dominant with a very simple system.

Despite the advent of electronics, I continued my research in the dark room, with open eyes, discovering new things.

In 2011 I have tried the direct printing of an electronic image on photographic paper in the darkroom, creating a hybrid EXCLUSIVE.

My works are handmade prints in color, unique pieces, made in the darkroom without electronic devices of any kind.

A printing technique "dated" as the darkroom is able to offer an art without time and be perfect for infinite creativity, even in color printing.

No one knows the potential of manual work in the darkroom color, which rejoins the color photograph of the current "Pictorialists" of late nineteenth century .. www.paoloromani.net
