Crystal Edwards (previously Chrystal Jackson) has had a life long interest in drawing and painting, and the transition into photography was a natural move for artist Crystal of Southern California.

She discovered alternative processes as a way to complete a photo class with out access to a darkroom following an unexpected surgery and was hooked. Now she prints almost exclusively in Gum Bichromate and Kallitype.

Chrystal has been an exhibitor in the Winterfantasy Sawdust Festival in Laguna Beach as well as other local shows and galleries.

3 simple steps to joining the gallery

1. Prepare your work

• Size images at 700 pixels wide or tall at 72 dpi.

• Name images with process and title. If the image is a Cyanotype called "Blue Flower" please name it: Cyanotype Blue Flower.jpg (not blue-flower-001.jpg or IMG000098.jpg or similar).
• Processes Only send us images made with alternative processes on this list. Think "quality" rather than "quantity".
• Biography written in 3rd person between 200-500 words. Make it personal rather than a list of exhibitions.
• Self portrait sized 150x150 pixels. Can be abstract if you are the shy type.
• A quote (10-30 words). Something you said or think in your own words, perhaps about why you work in alt. proc. or why you photograph.
• City & country you work in. If you're American, please also write the name of the state, not just WA.
• Contact details, email (you can use one for the internet and one for private mails to reduce spam) and website (optional).
• Social media if you want us to tag you in our social media channels (optional), send us your Instagram handle, Twitter and Facebook profile.
