Deep-dive introduction to making Digital negatives and Platinum/Palladium Prints.One of the most beloved of the early 19th Century alternative non-silver processes, platinum/palladium prints have a long rich tonal scale that brings a nuanced character to any photograph. The prints are made using a mixture of chlorides of the two metals dissolved in ether to make them light sensitive. The resulting print, like the noble metals they use, are incredibly stable and archival and a beauty to behold. Once the emulsion is mixed you brush it directly onto the paper.
In this two-day workshop you will learn how to prepare digital files (either from scanned negatives or digital captures) of your own photographs to create inkjet digital negatives appropriate for Platinum/Palladium printing. The history, techniques, and quirks of platinum printing will be discussed and you will see a demonstration of how to mix and apply the emulsion to the paper, how to determine the proper exposure for the Ultraviolet exposure unit, and to have a Platinum/Palladium print made from your images.
During the longer, two-day workshop there will be ample opportunity for you to experiment with a number of your own images and to make variations.
Materials included.
This workshop will run from 10:00am to 5:00pm each day with a 1 hour lunch break.
