Van Dyke Brown
... is a traditional process invented in the latter 19th century involving direct UV or sunlight to print out a photograph. It involves a light-sensitive liquid hand-coated on paper or organic material, exposed for a duration under light, developed in chemistry, rinsed and dried.
With a negative (a transparent reverse of an image) and sunlight, a photograph is ‘painted with light’ and produces earthy and deep browns that can range from a reddish-brown to a velvet purple hue.
