In my previous video, I created a self-portrait using the Black & White Photo Paper Reversal Process but the final positive image came out mirrored, just like in a reflection.
In this video, I’m exploring how to correct that reversed image using a 3D-printed mirror scope that I designed and built myself. It’s a simple DIY prototype, but it works surprisingly well for large format photographers who love experimenting in the darkroom.
Let me know what you think and if you have other creative ways to fix mirror text or reversed images in reversal prints!
📸 Materials used:
1. Ilford Multigrade RC paper - amzn.to/3dOII33

3. Ilford Rapid Fixer - amzn.to/2WACBK9
👋 About Me:
I’ve been practicing film photography and darkroom printing since 2003, exploring processes like albumen, kallitype, wet plate, and dry plate. My favorite cameras are the Nikon FM2 and Nikon F2, and I often shoot Fomapan 100, Kodak Ektar, Fujifilm Velvia, and Rollei Superpan.
On this channel, I share my journey through analog photography — from darkroom experiments to DIY photo gear builds.
