Sandwich printing

Sandwich printing (also known as negative sandwich) is when two different images are 'sandwiched' together to create a new image altogether - it's very similar to double exposure, however for sandwich printing you need to physically put the two different images/ textures together whereas for double exposure you can use two separate files then put them together.

Here are some of the images I researched: 






SANDWICH PRINTING: HOW TO

1. In the darkroom, take the two negatives (or a negative and a texture) and sandwich them together in the negative holder on your enlarger.
2. Work out the exposure time for the print (by doing test strips).
3. Expose your negatives onto the light-sensitive paper 
4. Develop the paper in the dev, stop and fix as normal. 
5. Repeat until the desired image result is achieved.
