Bob takes you through the gum bichromate process from beginning to end. In this video, he is working with images from PALLAS, a celebrity portrait exhibition
Thank you for this great video of yours , very interesting and I learn things, so thank you for your work done here, the teaching and informative work.
Wow, Bob. Thanks so much for showing us all of the important details that go into making a gum bichromate duotone print. What a lovely process. I need to figure out some darkroom logistics but I'm definitely giving this a try for my portraits!
thanks so much for this tutorial, Bob. i'm a printmaker, and you've convinced me to dive into photographics in my space. i used to think that i needed a 100% dark room.
I'm looking forward to attempting gum bichromate prints this summer. Your channel is a great source of knuckles and know-how techniques. It's appreciated! 😸
Thank you so much for these wonderful videos!!! Watched this numerous times over the past year and FINALLY started gum printing, and now am back to see all the wonderful tidbits that were tough to comprehend before actually trying the process. You're amazing!!!
@Bob Carnie Absolutely!!! I could and have been frequently printing all day for days at a time and I'm just in love with these processes. Thank you for all of the experience you share!
Great tutorial! Made me think that bichromate is not an impossible process as many led me to believe! By the way - that's not Radiohead, it's Muse lead singer, Matt Bellamy.
Thank you so much for this video! I've realised so many ways I might be going wrong with the process. Just wondering what the exposure duration is in minutes? (For the proportions you have mentioned) and is it necessary to have a light box with UV lights or is a more basic light box sufficient?
Hi Bob. You mentioned that you make silver gelatin negatives. I´m wondering how you coat it so smoothly in a such a large acetate. I´m asking because I do the same but I lay down the silver gelatin on duralar with a brush and it leaves brush marks. Thanks!!
@Bob Carnie you put your chemicals in an Erlenmeyer flask with a magnetic rod and put it on the stirrer. You can control the speed and temperature (cheap ones just stir with no heating). We used them all the time when i was doing my chemistry major

Thank you so much for all these tips and tricks with the process! I love it but have been struggling with getting the results I wanted , as I’m doing it from scratch on my own. This has been a great confidence boost and I feel ready to work on it again :)
