Black and white photography relies heavily on chemicals for the creation of stunning monochrome photographs; one such chemical is silver halide crystals embedded into photographic film or paper emulsion and exposed to light, which undergo a chemical reaction, creating latent image centers—this is where magic begins!
Once exposed to light through a camera’s lens, its latent image centers are activated based on the changing intensity of light that has passed through the scene being photographed, creating an invisible pattern of silver atoms waiting to be developed into visible imagery through chemical processes in a darkroom or modern digital means, an initial step of which is development.
Metol and hydroquinone chemicals make up a developer solution used for turning latent images into visible ones. Metol acts as a reducing agent while hydroquinone acts as a developing agent; both combine to reduce and develop silver halide crystals back into metallic silver; this creates darker regions on final images where more light was exposed during exposure.
After development is completed, it’s essential to end the development process quickly in order to prevent overexposure. This is accomplished by submerging film or paper into a “stop bath”, typically composed of dilute acetic or citric acid solutions. Immersing this ensures development stops by neutralizing alkaline developer chemicals while stopping any additional chemical reactions from taking place.
Once the development of your image is complete and it has been adequately fixed, the next step in photography processing should be fixing your photograph using sodium thiosulfate (hypo). Fixation dissolves any undeveloped silver halide crystals, so your photograph no longer reacts negatively when exposed to light; without fixation, your photograph would continue darkening when exposed.
To preserve and extend the longevity of its final print and eliminate any residual chemicals causing degradation, the photograph is washed thoroughly with water before printing to wash away all traces of chemicals, leaving behind a stable black-and-white image that won’t deteriorate over time.
Black-and-white photography relies on an intricate interplay of chemicals centered on silver halide crystals as its cornerstone. After exposure to light and subsequent chemical reactions such as developer, stop bath, fixer, and washing processes have been completed, latent images become photographic memories that endure across time with timeless elegance and artistry.
