About the Artist:
The silver gelatin print is a different kind of creature than say a lithograph or giclée print. Each have their benefits, but there is something about a fine silver gelatin, some kind of near-magical alchemical appeal, that makes its photochemical nature unique among printing processes. Indeed, each print has its own character and no two, even from the same negative, are exactly the same. Ansel Adams once referred to the process of printing a negative as something akin to the performance of a score of music: each performance has its high and low points, and every once in a while, there is one performance that is simply astounding. The same is true of the art of creating a silver gelatin print. Oxidized silver is the agent that renders the tones of light and dark in a silver gelatin print, and gives it its name. A properly processed silver gelatin print made from quality materials, also known as an archival print, can last for generations when properly cared for, with minimal or no visible alteration. When displaying a silver gelatin print, lighting plays an important role. Hanging on a wall with oblique overhead lighting, a print may look more dull or washed out. But when lit with directed light, the silver in the print stands up, takes in, and casts back the stronger light in a myriad of subtly infinite silver-grays. |
