List of works by author Barbara Ghidini

My name is Barbara and I am a visual artist specialized in photography and who works and experiment mainly with analogic medias, using especially ancient photographic techniques and developing processes. In 2006 I established in Barcelona where I started studying black & white printing and developing techniques for photos and photomontage in a darkroom environment and I immediately felt in love with that magic world that marked my direction.
In 2009 I started a darkroom project with some friends at Taller Milans, a creative platform for artists; in this space I have been working 6 years on her personal projects and research, experimenting with the historical photographic process of gum bichromate, cyanotype, VanDyke, carbon transfer, salt and albumen print and wet plate collodion.
In the last three years I have devoted myself almost exclusively to the recovery of the old profession of “fotografo minutero”, also known as walking photographer; my workday flows outdoors between random encounters and silver gelatin portraits.
