Platinum: Prints for eternity!

Of course, optical enlargement on fiber based paper with dodging and burning is one of the most wonderful ways "to express what the photographer saw and felt", as Ansel Adams put it. But perhaps there are images where only a platinum-palladium print will exhibit their inherent intense radiance. The platinum print covers an astonishingly high contrast range. There are deep, rich blacks in the platinum-palladium print – if it is printed correctly. But it is the silvery accents which make the platinum-palladium print incomparable, allowing for the finest gradations in the light greys. Some light greys look almost as glamorous as highlights - and yet they still show a wealth of detail. Such a pictorial expression – framed by hand-drawn brushstrokes on fine handcrafted paper – is something very special indeed. And while this high-quality print, made of platinum and palladium, may not last for eternity, it can technically last for at least a thousand years. If you really want to capture a moment for the long term in a truly artistic fashion and with a highly unique expression, there is perhaps no way around the platinum-palladium print - unless you are willing to compromise and make do with less than the best. But which photographer would ultimately want settle for anything else?
