Print Information
All Fine Art images are available for purchase as Platinum/Palladium Limited Edition Prints. Prints are produced in limited editions of 21 regardless of size.
Platinum/Palladium printing involves hand-coating fine cotton-rag papers with an emulsion containing platinum and palladium metals. My prints actually contain very little or no platinum, being mostly palladium, but the term Platinum is used to describe the many variations in this process. This is a contact printing process where once the paper is coated and dried, the actual negative is placed on the paper and exposed to ultraviolet light. A large negative is required and I shoot my photographs with a variety of large format cameras. The print is then rinsed, cleared and dried. Because of the metals involved, these prints are the most archival form of photographs ever made. Platinum prints are generally characterized by a slightly warm tone and a very long tonal range, which perfectly matches the vision I have always had for my black and white photography. Platinum prints will often print with a warmer tone than that shown here on the web.
The maximum size for Platinum prints is approx. 12x15 inches. Select prints can be printed in larger sizes as Ultrachrome prints. These will be included in the edition of 21.
