Mood - is a prevailing long lasting emotional state. There is no good or bad mood. We have the right to feel all possible moods. But how often people hiding, ignoring or even can not name their state. It is so important to stop, recognize your mood, understand what caused it and find the way to uphold or eliminate the reasons.
Series "Moods" is various moods visualization. Images created with a large format pinhole camera which forces to stop. Long exposure from 2 minutes to 2 hours on direct positive black and white paper gives plenty of time to think, observe. Not less meditative is development in the darkroom.
For development I used environment friendly developer - caffenol C, prepared from coffee, soda, vitamin C and water. After, to strengthen the mood, images colored with natural dyes: saffron, blue butterfly pea flower, hibiscus, safflower, onion skins.
All used processes make these images unique, with no possibility to duplicate.
