Platinum prints are the most durable of all photographic processes and are favored by collectors because of their tonal range, the surface quality and their permanence.. It is one of the oldest photo printing techniques used by photographers since 1830.  A platinum print provides a broad scale of tones from black to white. Unlike the silver print process, platinum lies on the paper surface, while silver lies in a gelatin or albumen emulsion that coats the paper. As a result, since no gelatin emulsion is used, the final platinum image is absolutely matte with a deposit of platinum (and/or palladium, its sister element which is also used in most platinum photographs) absorbed slightly into the paper.

Each print differs a bit from another and are printed one at a time on special handmade papers.  I usually only print a limited edition of 1-15  prints. The size of the print depends on the image but are not larger than 11" x 14" (28cm x 35cm) and are printed on either 22" x 15" (56cm x 38cm) or 22" x 30" (56cm x 76cm) paper. Each print is signed, numbered, and accompanied by a certificate to verify the limited edition. Due to the time consuming nature of this process I only have a few platinum prints available and once an edition is sold they will not get reprinted. .
