Analog 3D Photography


Analog 3D photography is a form of photography that uses a continuously changing recording medium such as  chemical processes to produce images that give the perception of 3D. This captures images by exposing the photographic film to light as opposed to digitally via a sensor.


Technique 1: Liquid Light


Liquid Photographic Emulsion or best known as Liquid Light is a silver based sensitiser which is designed for applying onto any surface, exposing with an enlarger and processing in the darkroom chemistry. The emulsion that is found within liquid light is pretty much the same emulsion that can be found within light sensitive photographic paper. Liquid light can be applied to a large array of 2D and 3D surfaces. The good thing about using liquid light is that you are able to freely produce images on the materials of your liking.

Technique 2: Photo Transparencies


 This technique allows you to transform a Polaroid image into a photo transparency that can be viewed to be perceptively 3D.



In order to transform a Polaroid print into a photo transparency, you need to peel the bottom part of the image from its backing. You can do this by using scissors by cutting as close as possible to the edge of the print. 

Next is to heat the print with a hairdryer, this is important as it will heat the chemicals up within the print which makes it easier to take the print apart without damaging the actual image. Make sure to hold the hairdryer a fair distance away from the print for about 30 seconds on a low to medium heat setting. 
Start with an upper corner of the print very carefully separate the print from its backing, if it does not peel easily then heat the print for another 30 seconds. 
Once you have started peel the front from the back you want to continue until the whole print is separate to the backing. 
Throw away all the rubbish that is not the transparent print and also make sure that you have not got any chemicals on your skin. If you do then wash them immediately.

Wigglegram/ 3D GIF (Digital Final)

For my digital final outcome, I decided to produce a GIF/ Wigglegram out of 2 or more still images to create what seems a stereoscopic 3D animated image. My first attempt at creating a stereoscopic 3D animated image did not go so well, because I took 3 images of a subject with three different camera in different positions around the subject to capture each angle, so when turned into a looping GIF it would make it seem like it was animated to simulate a 3D look. However, this was no the case. The first thing that made it unsuccessful was the fact that I used two of my fellow classmates to push the shutter release button at the same time, but person took the shot at separate times including me. These shots can be seen below. As you can also see, the exposures were not the same for each image and the getting the subject to jump was not a great idea as it is very hard to capture this image at the same time from three different camera. Below is my unsuccessful a...

Digital 3D Photography

Digital 3D photography is a form of photography in which a camera is used to produce images that give the illusion of 3D or take multiple exposures and digital manipulation. This captures images digitally as opposed to capturing images with photographic film. Technique 1: Stereoscopic/Stereoscopy photography This is the technique of creating or augmenting the illusion of depth within an image through stereopsis. Any stereoscopic image is called a stereogram. When the stereogram was first invented, it was commonly referred to as a pair of images which could only be seen through a stereoscope. Most stereoscopic techniques show two separate images, one on the left and on the right eye of the viewer of the image. The two images which are two-dimensional are combined in the brain which gives the illusion and perception of 3D depth to the image.  Stereoscopic 3D photography is not easy. You firstly have to choose a subject to capture. How...
