Alternative photographic processes have undergone transformation over the past few decades. Once considered a niche or historically bound practice, they are now part of a growing and evolving field shaped by both traditional methods and contemporary digital-based photographic workflows.
In this live online webinar program, Christina Z. Anderson reflects on the development of alternative process photography from the 1990s to today. Drawing from her experience as an artist, educator, and author, she shares insights into materials, techniques, and the expanding global community of practitioners working in these methods.
Throughout her work, Christina has been engaged in rethinking how these historically rooted processes function in a contemporary context, not simply preserving them, but adapting and extending them through new approaches and ideas.
Christina is joined in conversation with Cotton Miller throughout the four hours of this special program. They explore how artists are learning and working today, how digital tools intersect with historical processes, and what it means to build a sustained, process-driven practice. Together, they consider not only how these processes are used but how working through them shapes creative decision-making, personal vision, and the final image.
An open Q&A session with the attendees concludes each evening.
