Glen Craig Platinum Print Collection
Platinum printing, also known as platinotype, is a fine art photographic printing process that creates images with exceptional tonal range, permanence, and a distinctive matte finish. Platinum printing stands as the definitive pinnacle of fine black and white photography. It involves coating a fine art paper with a solution of platinum and/or palladium salts, then exposing it to light with a negative in contact. The process yields a print where the image is composed of finely dispersed platinum and palladium metal embedded within the paper fibers.
