Abstract - Photography is not just produced in the form of prints on paper, but various preparations were made, such as creating images on stone, glass, wood, leaves and etc. With the growing fascination in unconventional canvas choices, it comes as no surprise that we’re seeing leaves used in a number of interesting ways. Sensivity of printing in Chlorophyll Print were identified as new alternative solutions to do chemical free printing technique by using nature-based sources as a product to produce alternative photography printing process. This experiment dealing with varying sunlight, exposure times and different leaf specimens that can be a fulfilling and humbling way to engage the natural world as part of artworks.
This can be the new education for photography students to have better understand in principles of photography and basic photographic printing technique.
Author Keywords: Chlorophyll Print, photographic printing process, photography students
1. INTRODUCTION
The significant of images is on the surface. It can be take at a single glance but yet still remains superficial. To deepen the significant, it needs to reconstruct the abstracted dimensions and let the viewer wander (scanning) over the surface and provide space for interpretation [1]. While wandering over the surface of the image, the gaze will produces significant relationships between interpretation and the elements of the image [1]. This matter should be applied in each photography
208 3rd ISME International Colloquium 2016
student in order to understand more fully how an image can be produced.
Since learning photography is no longer using the dark room, student take disadvantages on ‘try and error’ learning process because they just snap and the printer will do the rest. Photography has gone through a phase of drastic changes in producing the image from the beginning of obscura and silver plate, to the existence of digital technology in this era [2]. Advances in technology now leads the new generation less keen to explore the importance of photographic printing process. But this does not mean that technology can damage the nation. Just that it shifted the interests of a new generation to better understand the importance of developing an image they made themselves [3]. Traditionally, the visual arts have been taught in schools through learning the elements and principles of art used in the making of paintings, drawings, sculpture, and crafts [4]. Photography is an art medium which reflects all aspects of modem life to the masses, perhaps even more comprehensively than any other art media commonly taught in the art curriculum today. Thus the study of photographic imagery, like the study of more traditional art media, could provide a more complete, meaningful, and relative cultural representation, and broaden visual awareness [5].
Imagine a world of photography where chemicals and liters of water is less needed to make photograph by using a material that you can get from the nature or used expired materials in your own backyard or compost bin. With the growing fascination in unconventional canvas choices, it comes as no surprise that leaves was used in a number of interesting ways. Vietnamese-born photographer and artist Binh Danh prints on leaves to create striking art. Called Chlorophyll Printing, they’re made by placing a negative of a photo on the leaf, which is then exposed to sunlight over a period of time. The pigments of the plant will darken, which results in a wonderful, ghostly portrait. This artwork was made from mix media of positive film and nature based. The technique was found by Binh Dahn and called it “Chlorophyll Print’ [6].
The purpose of this paper is to find the best option using chlorophyll print as an alternative approach to describe the basic photographic printing process as early education for photography students. An experimental research was conducted using different types of leaf and time exposure to identify whether local weather can generate the chlorophyll print and finding the shortest time to develop the print. The results will be discussed at the end of this paper.
2. LITERATURE REVIEW
Learning photography is not just simply take the camera and does the snapping without knowing what is the outcome of the printed results. According to Gardner’s theory, all seven intelligences are needed to productively function in society. Educators should structure the presentation of material in a style, which engages most, or all of the intelligences [7]. For example, when teaching about the revolutionary war, a teacher can show students battle maps, play
3rd ISME International Colloquium 2016
209
revolutionary war songs, organize a role-play of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and have the students read a novel about life during that period.
This kind of presentation not only excites students about learning, but it also allows the educator to reinforce the same material in a variety of ways and can facilitate a deeper understanding of the subject material [8]. Capello (2016) used photography as a way to provide meaningful experiences to the students by challenge them in ways so the students become learners. He believed by using photography would improve learning outcomes by creating new opportunities for students to display their knowledge and to model an alternate tool for expression that might benefit the young learners [9].
Alternative photography process has always something new to explore and to experiment with. Niepce joined with Louis-Jacques Mande Daguerre (published his new photographic process, the daguerreotype in 1839) define photography as, “the spontaneous reproduction of the image of nature receive in the camera obscura, not with their colors, but with very fine gradation of tones” [7]. No access to a darkroom or expensive equipment wont let the learning process stops and deepens the students understanding about basic photography printings. Several processes can be done with what probably have at home or surroundings.
Despite of all processes available, chlorophyll was selected for this experimental research. Chlorophyll Print defined by Binh Danh, as a technique of printing the photographs onto the surface of leaves by experimenting with the process of photosynthesis and using rendered negatives [6]. Binh Danh observed one summer that there was a difference in color between grass under a water hose and the grass directly exposed to sunlight. He then began to experiment with combining photography with photosynthesis, and came up with what he calls
“chlorophyll prints” — photographs printed onto leaves using the sun [6]. Binh Danh technique incorporates his invention of the chlorophyll printing process, in which photographic images appear embedded in leaves through the action of photosynthesis [6]. His newer body of work focuses on the Daguerreotype process. The natural process of nature live the sign of chlorophyll on the leaf as the photosynthesis stops developing. The leaf is still alive as the photo develops;
only drying once the process is over. This magic nature creates stunning and beautiful effect that reminds us the great creation of the beholder. In his work, photosynthesis is used to record images onto leaves using only chlorophyll and light: the life source of plants and, consequently the Earth. This process deals with the idea of elemental transmigration: the decomposition and composition of matter into other forms. The images of war are part of the leaves, and live inside and outside of them [6]. The leaves express the continuum of war. They contain the residue of the Vietnam War: bombs, blood, sweat, tears, and metals.

3. METHODOLOGY
Basic scientific method within subject design will be conducted and data will be collected using quantitative research approach. Primary data will be obtained through field-work conducted by observing the results in selected exposure times and different leaf specimens. The basic process is using the sun to make an image using a contact printing process, so the negative is laid directly on the photosensitive medium. The exposure on the leaf was to be done by sandwiching the leaf and the positive in glass then leaving the sun to do the rest. Fundamentally the process for this experimental research hasn’t changed. This experiment is the result of exposure techniques applicable in the process of producing images that are generated in photography. In normal photographic printing, an image was created using negative film, as the results will transform to positive image.
The exposed area will became darken and form the subject based on the light density reached the sensitive surface. But in chlorophyll print, the exposed area will become less colored and the unexposed surface will remain green due to chlorophyll existence. Based on previous trial from other photographers, this technique works best with clear, high-contrast images. The prints will be pretty low contrast so subtle shades of grey will probably get lost. Higher contrast of positive film will help with the overall clarity of the results though it is possible to achieve a wide spectrum of mid-tones (Fig.2). Before starting the exposure, checking the weather forecast is a must to make sure the day is always hot and sunny. After selecting the appropriate leaves, a positive film will be placed over a leaf and sandwiched together with two pieces of clear glass to ensure that the leaves constantly in a state of flat and even. The leaf will be exposed during the day or until it turned yellow and wither. If it had to do with photosynthesis (process through which chlorophyll captures light to produce energy) the exposed parts would be greener. What is happening here is just sun bleaching of the exposed areas on a dying leaf (causing the destruction of chlorophyll pigments -which are green- and therefore a loss of color). Three types of local leaves, which is vegetable, leaf, rubbery leaf, and thick leaf were choosing to obtain the results. It

was choose because of it compound and easy to find.
Fig. 2: High contrast image
Table 1. Research design for experimental process
4. RESULTS & DISCUSSION
The intention of this experiment is to capture the subject digitally and then create negatives. As the process done, it was discovered that the contact films suppose to be positives. The shaded part will be the image formed by chlorophyll. As applied by previous researcher, the exposure on the leaf was to be done by sandwiching the leaf and the positive between two pieces of glass then leaving it exposed to the sun. Fundamentally the process in this experiment hasn’t changed (Fig. 3). The outcome of the result quit interesting because of low humidity can avoid the leaves exposed to the fungus. Even before this, various types of leaves have been used and the results are quite interesting. Many experiments have been conducted to determine the nature and age of the leaf that is suitable for producing this experimental process. Based on the studies that have been done, chili leaf should be quit matured and the color should be deep green because the shoot is too fragile to obtain this experiment. Same goes to the banana leaves, it should be neither too old nor too young. This is because the old leaves will cause significant shrinkage in the leaf structure. While the young leaves produce less chlorophyll and causes no image is created on the leaf. Angsana leaf is quit
212 3rd ISME International Colloquium 2016
challenging because of the thick pigments demands longer exposure to the sun and the possibilities of getting fungus were quit high. This exposure process took out three sets experiment to regain better results on finding the best leaf to be use base on local weather conditions. If it rains on the first or second day, the experiment will be cancel and new experiment will be conducted. Each experiment will consist another three sets for each leaf to separates the leaf accordingly with different days. All three experiments were repeated using the same method. The analysis of the data will be shown on Table 2, Table 3 and Table 4.
Fig. 3: Chlorophyll Print techniques
Table 2 shows the analysis data for experiment one. In Experiment 1, the weather conditions are quit friendly where the sun was hotly shined till the evening. The average temperature for that day was 35°c - 38°c same as in the second day.
It was a avery fine day to do the chlorophyll print. The chili leaf shows a great result even it was expose only for half day. The expose time started at 10.30 a.m.
because it’s where the sun will shine directly from top position. But the image slowly disappears when it was exposed too long in the sun. Banana leaf needs more exposure time. Might be because of the leaf thickness is thicker than the chili leaf. But the outcome result later in evening is also quit fascinating. Angsana leaf shows the negative results on the first day in Experiment 1. At the end of the second day, a slight appearance of image showed up but the leaf already turned brown. However, all the results were quit impressive as shown in figure 4. (Fig. 4).
Table 2: Experiment 1
3rd ISME International Colloquium 2016

Fig. 4: Leaf outcomes in Experiment 1
In Experiment 2, the same method was applied within the same subject matter to reduce the amount of error arising from natural variance between individuals.
The weather at that time was slightly adding one-degree Celsius making it hotter than the previous experiment. The disadvantages of hot weather will make the leaf quickly dry and shorten the life span of chlorophyll process. However, since the experiment dealing with the weather condition, a different result appeared to most of the specimens and given new data to be recorded. Chili leaf seems to be bleach out on the exposed surface creates more contrast on the image. The exposure time is shorten one hour because the exposed surface already bleach out and turned yellow. No chlorophyll (green) spotted on any of the leaf surface.
Making it the best outcomes within all the three experiments. While banana leaf also shown up the great results with the high contrast image that stands out the details on the surface. Angsana leaf had improve by the appearance of more contrast image but a bit blurry on the image details.
Table 3: Experiment 2

Fig. 5: Leaf outcomes in Experiment 2
The same method of chlorophyll print process was done in Experiment 3 to see whether there are changes of data through all the experiments. The temperature was recorded to be the same as Experiment 1 (refer to Table 1 and Table 3).
The results came out almost the same and provide the same outcome to the leaf surface. The different can be seen on the appearance of chlorophyll (green) spotted on the leaf surface, which came out to be the same as in Experiment 1.

5. CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTIONS
216 3rd ISME International Colloquium 2016
While conducting along through the experiments, there are certain circumstances and challenging experiences especially when the weather is beyond our controls, the fragility of the leaf specimen and the time consume taken to make sure the study is done. It can be conclude that sunny day will make the better results to create contrast image. Chili leaf can be the best specimen for chlorophyll print as a main tool to get the successful images. Even though banana leaf can give the great outcome, chili leaf has more advantages because it can be made in shortest time and can be the best tool to educate student on how the process is done since it has the same basic understanding as developing image in the darkroom. We can learn a lot about some images just through what we observe in the photograph. In many cases learning about the artist, their intentions and the cultural and historic context in which the work was made adds much to our understanding. More deeper understanding on how to develop the image should be applied to every students if they want to be a real photographer. For suggestion, this chlorophyll process can be applied to the newly students and ask them to understand the techniques by doing the same process to produce their work or assignments. The educator could also provide some information on similarity to the traditional method of darkroom. After students have learned some context surrounding the work, ask them to reconsider the images and how this additional information impacts their understanding.
