The VanDyke Brown is named because of the similarity in colour to the deep brown pigment used by the Flemish painter Van Dyck. It is based on the first iron-silver process invented by English astronomer Sir John Herschell in 1842. This process is economical and simple to execute using three common chemicals in the sensitizer, namely Silver Nitrate, Tartaric Acid and Ferric Ammonium Citrate. Sunlight is commonly used as the exposing light source, and Hypo is used to fix the images. The resulting images exhibit a delightful tonal range and can be made on a variety of artist papers and fabrics. Trevor uses this process as a medium for personal expression, with many of his images originating from large format negatives - a passion he wishes to preserve in a growing industry of over manipulated digital imagery.
