CONTACT PRINTING

In this film Sayed Mahboob prints a positive directly from a large format negative. The process is usually referred to as 'contact printing' as the negative and the photographic paper are in direct contact. For this purpose, Sayed Mahboob constructed an electrical light box containing a red and a white bulb, a contraption he regularly used when printing large format negatives was part of his daily work routine. See how a kamra-e-faoree is used for the same process (without requiring electricity) here.
