Hello all,
The tone quality on these platinum prints is due to the ecru cotton paper I print on and the color of the platinum metal salts when they precipate into the paper. It is this photochemical reaction that makes platinum prints permanent. It is pure platinum photoengraved into the acid free paper. The process is a contact print method, so the image is only as large as the negative you use. That is why all my prints are taken with an 8x10 or 11x14 negative.
Gary

I love platinum printing. Though platinum is gorgeous, with a nice, soft contrast that manages to pull of detail in even the most blown-out highlights, it's so expensive. That's why I do palladium printing...it's much cheaper. However, it doesn't yield quite the results of platinum printing. Of course, just shooting large format films for use in such printing tends to be beyond my budget, which is why I have VERY few prints of this type, and I'm ashamed to say the ones I do have are nothing like yours. I've been looking through your portfolio, and you've got some great images. The lighting is always so nice and balanced, and your composition and depth of field are beautiful. Also, the way you shoot your subjects, as well as your subjects themselves, are very interesting and even intimate. Thank you very much for sharing these beautiful works. :)

These Native American images of yours Gary, are really lovely...pride and dignity, yet still magnanimous shining in their eyes. Lovely.
