Bromoil Photography by Andrι Devlaeminck "RADAN"

The nostalgic, mystic and

romantic land- and seascapes from Scotland and Brittany are idyllic.

 

A poetical escape from hard reality.

 

Immediately striking is the enviable tranquility.

 

Every picture bathes in a sea of time.

 

The special application of antique  “ BROMOIL “ image print technique is ennobled by handtinting with watercolour pigments .  This technique denominated by the artist himself as :

CHROMOBROMOIL

    emphasizes the impressionist pictorial effect, dominated by

 “ LIGHT “   and    “ ATMOSPHERE ”.

The pictorial effect is comparable with the 

“  AUTOCHROME  “ of the brothers  LUMIERE , introduced in New York  by  STIEGLITZ  in 1907 .
