Under the guidance of Lauren Fiasconaro, using alternative materials to traditional darkroom chemistry represent a way to continue the photographic tradition without the toxicity and problematic waste that comes with it. By improvising with materials that can be easily obtained and disposed of, the artist/creator is able to achieve self sufficiency and minimize environmental impact.
