Platinum Palladium Printing
$130.00 – $155.00A 1-Day Class
Saturday, April 12th
10:30am–1:30pm
Ages 16+A Photography Class for Ages 16+
Platinum Palladium was a favorite of early Pictorial photographers, and is still one of most highly regarded fine art printing techniques for it’s delicate and wide tonal range, abilty to control contrast and warmth, and for it’s archival properties. Platinum prints are considered to be the most archival and durable of all traditional printing techniques, having been time tested, the chemistry is extremely stable and will last as long as the paper it’s printed on – for 100’s and 100’s of years.
As Platinum Palladium is a more expensive and advanced process we recommend starting with the Intro to Digital Negatives and Cyanotype class if you’re new to Alt Process photography. This is a hybrid digital/analog class and will briefly touch on many of the same steps as the Intro class, but go much more indepth for considerations specific to Platinum – controlling contrast/warmth via drop count, paper preparation and humidification, and more.
You do not need a darkroom, the entire process can be replicated at home or in a classroom.
Supplies are included. Students only need a digital image.
