In the last century, a long list of the world’s master photographers have chosen Platinum-Palladium printing for their most important and intimate images: among them are Paul Strand, Irving Penn, Alfred Stieglitz, Frederick Evans, and Laura Gilpin. Despite the scarcity, expense, and painstaking nature of the printing process as it was being developed, history’s most revered photographers chose this method. Contemporary masters continue to prize this printing method above all others.

Platinum-Palladium prints convey detail even within the darkest shadows, and reveal a range of inviting tonal warmth — one might almost step into the scene.

This method of printing dramatically reveals layers of detail and luminosity unparalleled by any other. These prints are known not only for their beauty, but also for their permanence. The noble metals used in the printing process actually become embedded in the fibers of the paper, rather than floating above the paper in a gelatin base. These Platinum metals are more stable than gold, and with careful choices of paper, can achieve an archival rating in excess of 1500 years.
