Platinum Prints

We have had a series of sixteen large platinum prints made from a selection of our photographs from Iceland. They are made at the Salto Platinum Atelier in Belgium. We have never before seen platinum prints as rich as these.

Paula’s prints are printed on translucent handmade Japanese Taizan paper 23" x 29". Michael’s prints are printed on Arches Platine paper and are one meter wide—15" x 39".

The prints are stunning. Many contemporary platinum prints are “soft” and lack rich blacks and a full tonal range, and many people mistakenly believe that this is the way platinum prints should look, but platinum prints can be as rich as silver prints (those by Irving Penn are a good example).

To make these prints our original negatives are scanned; then five enlarged digital negatives made from each one are printed in register with multiple exposures—a lengthy and arduous process. All of our platinum prints are limited to an edition of ten with two artists’ proofs. Notes on the pricing of these prints are in the addendum. We are now actively looking for galleries to sell these platinum prints, although they will also be available directly from us.
