1833年時，英國現代攝影之父：威廉塔伯特先生（William Henry Fox Talbot, 1800-1877），為迎接新生活而帶著新婚妻子去義大利湖畔度蜜月，而鹽印法的發明，就從這趟蜜月開始的。

塔伯特當時帶著他的新玩具投影描繪器（camera lucida），試圖將眼前美麗的湖景真實的描畫在紙上，帶回英國與親友們分享。可惜塔伯特的描繪能力不比專業畫家，描繪出的湖景與實景差距甚遠。蜜月結束後，塔伯特極力研究將實際風景複製在紙上的方法，於是在1834年發明了鹽印法。

鹽印法是十九世紀攝影發明後，第一個將銀鹽印製於紙張上的顯影方式。整個過程需要先在紙上塗一層鹽水，接著上一層硝酸銀，然後在太陽下曝光。鹽印法的成像細緻度與咖啡偏紅的色調讓每ㄧ張照片擁有各自獨立的情緒，它的低成功率也呼應這系列作品要表達的脆弱感。

The salt print was the very first silver print process on paper when photography was invented in the 19th century; the paper was coated by a solution of salt, followed by a coating of silver nitrate, and then exposed to the sun. Like many other alternative processes, salt printing has a simplicity and directness of process that is more physical than digital printing. 

This process gives the images a sense of quietness, fragility, and timeless that digital couldn't achieve. The delicate tonality and the reddish-brown hue of this process also enhance the antique and aged look of the prints.
