What is Alternative Process Photography? An alternative process photographic print is a contact print that is created with a hand-applied metallic sensitizer and ultra-violet light (sunlight). Light sensitive chemicals are applied to watercolor paper. A negative is then placed in contact with the sensitized paper and exposed under ultra-violet light. The resulting image is the size of the original negative.
