Platinum palladium printing is a historic photographic process that emerged in the 1870s. This technique is revered for its ability to produce exquisite images characterized by their subtle tonal quality and rich detail. The process involves coating paper with a mixture of platinum and palladium salts, which are sensitive to light. When exposed to ultraviolet light, these metals create a print that showcases a wide range of tones, from deep blacks to delicate highlights.
One of the standout features of platinum palladium prints is their archival quality; the prints are incredibly durable and resist fading over time. Additionally, the unique texture of the paper used in this process adds a tactile dimension to the final image, enhancing its overall aesthetic appeal. As a result, many photographers and artists continue to use platinum palladium printing to create fine art photography that captivates viewers with its softness and depth.
Our leader for this process is Caroline Waterman.
Caroline specializes in Silver Gelatin Lith, Platinum Palladium and Gum Bichromate printing. Her work deals with the themes of memory and loss and she has drawn on her connections to family, heritage and place as inspiration.
