Rosati, Judy

Photography - B & W and digitial photographic prints

I use B&W film and some photographs are sepia toned to show warmth before they are hand colored using Marshall Photo Oils, photo tinting pens, and/or Prisma pencils.


As a fine arts photographer, one of my main interests is in hand coloring black and white photographs that I print in my darkroom. Many of my photographs were taken during my travels over the last several years. Others depict local subjects such as local landmarks, nature—zoo animals, flowers, city scenes, waterscapes, etc.

The hand coloring technique reflects an old art form that was used before color film was invented and has regained its popularity in recent years as a creative expression of the photographer as an artist.

My attempt to personalize my interpretation of the subject matter depicted, is evident by the spontaneous use of color, as well as the retention of some of the natural aspects of the original black and white areas.
