Jill Enfield’s Guide to Photographic Alternative Processes

Jill Enfield is a fine art photographer, educator, curator and author with many years of teaching experience. While well versed in digital imagery, Enfield’s concentration is on historical techniques and alternative processes, with annual workshops and lectures in locations throughout the USA, South America and Europe. Enfield’s work has shown in galleries and museums as well as private collections, and recently featured in a 3-month solo show on Ellis Island, USA, at PhotoVille in the DUMBO section of Brooklyn and in Los Angeles at the Annenberg Space for Photography.

"Jill Enfield has a way of writing about alternative processes that meets the needs of both seasoned printers and photographers who are new to these printing methods. Her book has been a constant guide for my own alternative process research and an important resource for my students." Chris Nail, Photographic Educator "Jill Enfield continues to excel as an author specializing in Alternative Photographic Processes. This guide serves fabulously as an educator text and practitioners workbook. Ms. Enfield covers historical and contemporary techniques assisting photographic artists, a must read for all levels of expertise."Glenn Grafelman, Fine Artist and Educator"This book is for beginners. This book is for experts. This book is for me. Even though, at this time, I haven’t taken the time to work with alternative processes, since the 1970s, after taking a look at this new release (and update) from Jill Enfield, I am ready to borrow a friend’s 5x7, and go out in the field and try my hand (again!)."Tim Anderson, Publisher Shadow & Light Magazine
