The image examples provided here have all been created from my original photographs which were manipulated in Photoshop to create high-contrast images for transfer: however, manipulating in Photoshop or another editing program isn’t necessary if the image you would like to use is sufficiently high-contrast. I will provide photocopied images for you to print and you are welcome to bring photocopies of your own images. I’ll provide you with further information about selecting and printing images as part of the workshop preparation information.
