What is alternative photography?

Hello! So this is my first official blog in regards to alternative photography, but I have not yet pin pointed what I think alternative photography is?

Well, Wikipedia defines alternative or 'experimental' photography as any photographic process or product falling outside the realm of straight film or digital photography (here). Alternative Photography.com gives a less generalised definition by stating that it is a non-traditional and (now) non-commercial variety of printing processes.

Personally, alternative photography is anything non-digitally printed and not commonly practised in mainstream society. A more 'historical' approach to photography could you say? Essentially the alternative photography processes I explore fall outside mainstream techniques of photography.
