Lumen Prints: A Camera-less Photographic Process
In a world where digital photography is dominant, it’s easy to forget the magic of traditional photographic processes. The Lumen Prints technique is also known as solar photograms. It offers a chance to step back in time and create beautiful camera-less photographic images.
Shehab Uddin, an award-winning photographer, offers a hands-on workshop that combines the traditional and digital processes to create stunning Lumen Prints. You will learn to create artwork using this traditional photographic technique of using paper/film and UV light from the Queensland sun. You will also learn how to fix the prints using an analog photographic process and scan them to create digital versions of the Lumen Print.
This workshop is a unique experience that combines the physicality and tactility of traditional historic camera-less photographic image creation alongside cutting-edge digital technology. You will learn to appreciate the history of photography while learning new skills and techniques that can be applied to modern-day photography.
Lumen Prints Workshop offers a unique opportunity to create beautiful and striking photographic images using a camera-less process. The technique is your chance to slow down and appreciate the art of photography in a new and exciting way.
So, why not take a step back in time and join the workshop to learn this fascinating technique and create your own Lumen Prints?
This workshop is limited to just 6 participants to ensure Shehab’s individual attention to every participant.
The workshop runs from 10 am to 4 pm and includes morning tea and a light lunch. Please bring your own lunch if you have specific dietary requirements, and note that a fridge and microwave are available.

“Thanks so much for your most enjoyable workshop… I found it a pleasure as well as good fun. I appreciated your clear instructions on the day as well as a little background history… There was plenty of good material/resources to use too. I found it great fun to try new ways of seeing by making my own Lumen prints. I was so very happy with my results that I hope to try making my own again soon…. Many thanks”
