Historical photographic methods in use today – the art, processes and techniques of alternative photography. Photography as it should be: hands on, fun and inspiring.
Malin Fabbri grew up in Örebro, Sweden. In her early twenties she moved to London and earned an M.A. in Design studies at Central St. Martin's School of Design. Her thesis on alternative photography and the research behind it has evolved into this website: AlternativePhotography.com. Malin still actively manages the expansion of the site as editor, runs workshops, is the author of Anthotypes Ð Explore the darkroom in your garden and make photographs using plants, the co-author of Blueprint to cyanotypes and From pinhole to print, and the editor of Alternative Photography: Art and Artists, Edition I. She has a strong interest in all alternative processes. Malin now lives and works in Stockholm, Sweden and has two sons, Maximillian and Ruben.
Malin says:
"As the editor of Alternative Photography.com, cyanotype is a natural choice, since it is a great teaching tool and a means of expressing creativity. Other processes I favor working in are argyrotype, Polaroid transfer, Polaroid lifts and gum bichromates."
