Platinum/palladium prints are valued by photographers, collectors, galleries, and museums for their inherent beauty and archival stability. Although there is much lore and mystique associated with the platinum printing process, when properly handled, it can be accomplished by anyone willing to put in a little time and effort to make it work. Platinum printing is often thought to be a very difficult and expensive process. In this workshop we will de-mystify the process and learn the basic skills necessary to produce very fine platinum/palladium prints at a reasonable cost.
This year Ray Bidegain and Patrick Kolb will be teaming up with Jeanette Altman for an additional 2 days of instruction in the making of digital negatives for platinum printing. In the first 2 days of this workshop, we will be making enlarged negatives for platinum printing. We will then be making platinum prints on Saturday and Sunday. For most of the history of platinum printing photographers needed large-camera negatives for printing; Now photographers are able to use negatives from smaller cameras as well as digital files for making platinum prints. Come learn with us during this 4 days workshop.
