Cross-processing, briefly, is a photographic technique where (usually) slide film (E6) is processed in the set of chemicals usually used to process print film (C41). (Less common is cross-processing in the other direction — print film processed in slide film chemicals). The result is images with oddly skewed colors and increased contrast and saturation. But for a period in the 1980s and 1990s, cross-processed images were very much the vogue, with Nick Knight’s fashion and studio work being arguably the most influential.
The problem we’re running into now, however, is that this process depends on shooting with film. What happens if you’re one of the photographers who have made the jump to digital?
As for subject matter, try fashion or portraiture, but there’s no need to restrict your imagination.
