Platinum Prints
For maybe I decade I have been some what interested in platinum prints
and platinum printing. In the past I always felt the blacks looked to
weak, it sort of put me off that type of print. This trip to view the
retrospective on Don McCullin was a revelation, a jarring smack to the
face! I loved the platinum work I saw, wonder large social documentary
and landscape photograph, printed in subtle beautiful warm tones with
nice deep blacks. The platinum work I saw in the show I gazed at with
wonder for hours, I plan on learning this process and printing some of
my own work using this ancient darkroom process (with a modern digi
negative assistance).
