Our BTEC Photography lecturer, Chris McTernan, has been extremely creative and resourceful this lockdown, teaching his students how to make home-made anthotypes. Using only beetroot juice and vinegar our photography students have created light sensitive surfaces which after exposure to sun or ultra violet rays are transformed into intricate images.
The students have also learned how to create a camera obscura using their bedrooms at home. They had to black out all the light from their rooms but leave a tiny hole which allowed light to project through. An image of the outside scene was then projected inside the room (upside down and inverted).
