We have multiple ways of working. If the photographer does all the work, we can augment that with suggestions. I prefer to have the photographer involved in the editing process. Some photographers I work with don't have the tools to do that work. My consultation and in person editing is at no charge. The price list below remains the same with all methods above.
We offer a selection of the best photo papers and ink for fidelity and longevity. Contact us for more information.
The service includes consultation in front of the computer and small test prints on the paper of choice. Once test prints are approved, we print the final print. Each job includes a disc or thumb drive with the print files. We archive all jobs so that files can be printed at a later date at a discount. We guarantee the final product. Inkjet prints are made with pigment ink opposed to dye ink. Pigment inks have a much longer life if printed on archival acid free papers. To maintain this longevity, you must also use acid free matting and framing materials.
SCANNING - photographic prints or film. I use Epson and Nikon professional scanners for all scans. Fluid mounting techniques for film are normally used. Different services are offered depending on the degree of work done. See the price list above. Film up to 5x7 can be scanned. Scans of prints or documents are limited to 8.5 x 11. If originals are larger they have to be photographed with a digital camera at a higher cost. Check our price list to see fees for scanning or photographing original
A disc or thumb drive is included in all copies and scans.
Platinum/Palladium Classes
I teach the skill of platinum/palladium printing. We prefer to have 2 students for this class The class is for one full day and includes the creation of digital negatives. You will be involved in the creation of the negatives. Any source of images from cell phone to film can work for this class. Each student usually leaves with at least 3 or 4 good prints.
Traditional Darkroom Classes
I offer darkroom classes on B&W film processing and silver gelatin printing in a traditional darkroom. I taylor the class to your current skill level. Perhaps you are getting back into the hobby and need to brush up on your skills. I prefer to teach one student at a time, but can work with two who are starting at the same skill level.
