Rotterdam, Netherlands—IMG-I introduced Anatype, an environmentally friendly method for processing photosensitive (silver halide) material using dietary or household products. With vitamin C, soda, vinegar, citric acid and salt, images can be created in a generally dark space.

The Anatype method was developed for the new brand Ana’s Photographic Kitchen. Its mission is to encourage consumers to engage in photographic processing by providing user-friendly products. The goal is to provide a method that is accessible to all, suitable for those unfamiliar with darkroom techniques, convenient for home use and educational purposes.

“This method was not invented to compete with existing photographic chemicals, nor can it replace those,” said An Zuriel, who developed the method. “The aim of the method is to introduce photographic processing as a first step to darkroom techniques.”

The components for Anatype processing can be obtained in local grocery stores.

Anatype processing, including developing, stop and fixing stages, can be accomplished in less than an hour. The components can be obtained in local grocery stores, making photographic processing at home or in a classroom inviting. In addition, the developing solution used in the Anatype method has an agreeable smell and is light colored transparent or translucent, which enables viewing of the appearing image during the developing process. The developing time can be as fast as ten seconds.
