{"product_id":"david-bailey-tears-and-tears","title":"David Bailey: Tears and Tears","description":"Determining the perfect exposure time for a photographic print in a traditional darkroom can be a time-consuming and tedious process, and the irreverent David Bailey has never had much patience for it. Normally a photographer makes a number of test strips, each showing different exposure times; but Bailey has always just intuitively torn off strips of the unexposed paper to find the desired result: \"I would usually have it in the bag after three tears.\" Over the decades Bailey has kept his \"test tears,\" re-fixing and washing them to preserve the unpredictable and unique qualities of these \"accidents.\" This book contains a selection of Bailey's tears, which transform some of his most famous motifs into fascinating abstract pictures through their torn edges and myriad tones.","brand":"Steidl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42665549266980,"sku":"9783869309897","price":90.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/9734\/0196\/files\/9783869309897.jpg?v=1776900307","url":"https:\/\/thamesandhudson.com.au\/products\/david-bailey-tears-and-tears","provider":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
