Ilfochrome - Use Directly in Camera

Use Directly in Camera

A somewhat "alternative" use of Ilfochrome is that of using the paper directly inside a large format or ultra large format camera. This creates a unique image which appears reversed left-right. When techniques similar to this were used in the past (e.g., daguerrotypes) photographers commonly used 45 degree mirror add-ons that - when put on a lens - would reverse the image sideways thus recreating the correct view on the in-camera paper/plate.
