Cross Processing

Cross processing is the procedure of deliberately processing photographic film in a chemical solution intended for a different type of film, in this case, colour slide film developed as if it were a colour negative film.

The process is seen most often in fashion advertising and band photography, and in more recent years has become associated with the Lo-Fi and Lomo photography movement, of which I was involved with for some years.

Below is a selection of some of my original cross-processed photographs mostly shot on a LOMO LC-A (Lomo Kompakt Automat) Russian camera.
