| The platinum/palladium print, is known for its depth, detail, tonality and permanence. Collectors consider it to be the quintessential black and white print. Platinum is more stable and precious than gold itself, as well as a much rarer and precious metal which is found in only a few locations throughout the world. A unique collaboration between photographer David Brookover, printer Corey Allen, along with the technical expertise of Michael Harrison and John Botkin has taken a process dating back to 1873 and created a new standard in fine art printing. This shift in excellence combines David`s vision, the mastering of modern technology in conjunction with an impeccable, traditional printing style to create a new standard for decades to come. Our fresh innovative approach to this timeless medium has brought forth a diverse, inspired collection of large platinum/palladium prints with time honored archival stability. These advances allow David`s criteria for sharpness, detail, contrast and tonality to be maintained in the large prints we are now showcasing. With the addition of palladium, our prints explore a new dimension in contrast, luminosity and warmth. The result has been a dramatic transformation in the way fine art collectors view, feel and see black and white images. David`s deep appreciation and respect for Japanese and French art as well as their respective cultures, along with Corey Allen`s printing recommendations, laid the foundation and search for specific substrate papers produced in both countries which have a long, revered history dating back centuries. Both countries have set and held these standards of perfection demanded by masters of various mediums thoughout time with their exotic and archival fine art papers. Our combination of paper and printing process has an archival range beyond 1500 years. These prints are not only admired by fine art lovers but coveted by collectors due to their contemporary uniquity. David is a true believer in keeping his style and content of photography firmly planted in the fine art realm. These distinctive prints are matted using only the finest archival non buffered materials available which are then wrapped in silk. They are framed with some of the finest Italian mouldings in the world. |
