Category:Blog

Before digital photo-editing programs were readily available, Aubrey Chernick created photo effects using physical filters that attached to the lens of his camera.

During a sailing voyage with his friends, Norm, Mel and Ruth, in 1976, Aubrey Chernick created a “Mystical” photo filter. Watch the video to see how the photos turned out.
