I always have difficulties believing he's as old as he says, that effortless charisma is just timeless.

My first forays into "large" print came last year. At my photo club I was offered a chance to present myself as a photographer with a selection of 36 images printed on 19 x 13 paper and hung on the walls of the club. It was an exhilarating experience to see images, which a very familiar with, framed, handing on walls, lit up and big! The whole process of selection for print, preparing images to look the way you intended them be in print and then to see all of those images hanging side by side taught me so much on so many levels, that I could not succinctly put into words. I wholeheartedly join Hugh in inviting every serious photographer to do BIG PRINTS. P.S.: in my club's "50 Years Olympia in Munich" exhibition we printed fifty five images from fifteen of our members at 23 x 16... I like the results! 🙃

Bassem, great story! Thanks for sharing!

Truth has never been more eloquently spoken than you have demonstrated in this video. An honor to watch and listen too.

A friend once told me that ‘you have to print.’ His advice was spot-on! I’ve been digitally printing for 12+ years and I LOVE large prints! I had an Epson 44 inch printer and then purchased the Canon Pro 4000 … Both great printers - although the Canon requires slightly less maintenance. A few years ago, I printed a 88 inch x 26 inch pano made with 7 - iPhone 5 images! Two years ago, I printed 4 panels to create a 40 inch x 84 inch images to make a composite 160 inch x 84 inch image for a show. Keep up the good work with the show. Hope to chat soon!

Enjoying a print is so much more gratifying than posting on social media. It is extremely rewarding to see a physical manifestation of your work. Thank you for this presentation. I will soon have some “epic” size prints done and have enjoyed printing and framing my work for years using Epson printers. I recently purchased an Epson P900, and previously printed on an Epson 3880, which I loved. Again, thank you for this video on a mostly ignored subject in a fast moving world where images by the billions only get a fraction of a second of attention on social media. Then they disappear in into oblivion. Printing is a beautiful thing!

Hugh.... after 50 years of being a working photographer for commercial and personal work. I may be the last generation of photographers who could make a living off of straight photography. I was ready to hang it up after 50 years but it was me and I just could not so I decided to keep a small studio. During my career I made many film based prints. But nothing was as satisfying as projecting an image across the room to print 2' X 3' silver gelatin prints. After going back and looking at them I just could not hang it up. If you have an image that is sharp enough to print that sizer..... go for it!! It will renew your love of photography.

Great advice, Sam - and oh boy: do I! 😊

I love printing my own work. From monitor calibration to printer paper profiles to editing/soft proofing. I love it because it engages you in the process of making your image presentable to yourself or others in the home or perhaps in a photo show. Sending out certainly has its place but printing your own work challenges you to make decisions and adjustments to make your image enjoyable on a medium. Go for it! Have fun with it!!

Another brilliant, thoughtful and engaging discussion. Thank you, Hugh, for your always sensible approach to another subject too often mired in a ludicrous pursuit of vanishing points.

Excellent video. When I can relate to your videos, you are my favorite photo related youtuber. I call myself a closet artist. I have hundreds of prints, some framed, all sitting in my closet with very few of my own hanging in my house. I did one 6-hour fair and sold 19 prints and made about 400 bucks. I considered the fair a test run to see if anyone would buy my work. Afterwards I wondered if I should have charged a little more. I have owned Epson printers for about 15 years now, and my current 3880 is my latest little workhorse. Prior to digital cameras, I had a medium format Nikon film scanner which I would still own, but Nikon refused to update firmware, and Windows 98 was getting kind of old. I agree with you about cropping. I do not crop for any specific size, unless I need to put an image in an 8x10 frame. Recently, I've been going as big as my printer can go which is 17 in wide, and like you said, I crop for the image and not for any specific format. What I like about the larger images, especially with street photography is, you see a lot of interesting things in the background you would not see with a smaller print. Then there is the issue of photoshop. How much Photoshop is too much photoshop? Is it okay to clone out garbage on the sidewalk, or even a leg like I just did in a recent print of a man covered in tattoos. No, I didn't turn him into an amputee, but I did clone out a portion of his right leg to highlight his tattooed covered left egg which was at an interesting angle stepping off the curb. Anyway, I will continue printing, placing them in my closet, and saving them for another fair or maybe even a gallery. Thanks for making these videos.

Hello Hugh, I love printing my images, way back into 1980's I remember doing a job if a girl holding a push button phone which ended up been printer 12 feet by 9 feet, that was fun in those day. But now I limit my self the 2 meter by ** prints. I just love taking an image, printing the image and then framing. I even go as far as carving my own moulding normal out of Oak or Walnut bust if I fined some nice Yew or cedar than I am very happy. So far the biggest frame I have made 3 meter by 2 meter and that took me two weeks of hard but fun work. Keep well, keep safe and remember Take, printing and framing is just so satisfying.

I started doing prints a few years ago because I always felt that I was missing something. As a kid, I had a couple of chances to print my film, but my parents didn't have the money to maintain it so, I didn't do it that much. Later on, after working as a wedding photographer for quite some time, I started to also do astrophotography workshops thanks to the local observatory where I was living, and that's where it hit me. Like REALLY HARD. No matter the style of your images, printing IS the line that closes the circle. And for astrophotography in particular, at least for me, it's a complete necessity. After working for so many hours, trying, experimenting... it's an absolute pleasure. Also, printing astrophotography in black and white is amazing. I can honestly see myself and my fellow students, friends and more, to be absorbed by the printing exercise, once they tried obviously. BIG PRINTS, that's another whole story, and it's beautiful. Thanks for your videos Hugh.

Hugh, I took one of my favorite images in 2011 on an Olympus E-PL1, a 12MP Micro Four Thirds camera, at ISO 400 using a Minolta Rokkor MC 58mm f1.2 during blue hour on a rainy day. I blew it up to 30 by 40 inches - the print is brilliant. You'd have to step really close to it - closer than 20cm - to see any issues and even then you'd have to squint really hard to determine if it's a technical deficiency with the enlargement or a feature of the subject matter - the image is a panning shot of a black Volkswagen Beetle Classic at 1/20s against a rainy, illuminated street. How is that possible? 12MP?! AI based resolution upscaling and AI based noise reduction and CAREFUL retouching and a bunch of test prints before getting it right. It's simply incredible what you can do with today's software and yesterday's RAW files. It doesn't work for all subject matter of course, I would not blow up a macro shot taken with a 12MP camera with a focus on intricate details of a tiny subject to a size of a 30 by 40 inches print. The other lesson I took from printing this large: the print cost me around USD200. The frame and framing work cost around USD800. All museum quality. It's expensive. I don't even want to know how expensive it would be to frame anything larger than that. You need the right space to hang it. Or a buyer who has that. For ANYONE, it will be rare to frequently print that large. Most subject matter does not require 100MP for that size. MEGAPIXELS DON'T MATTER. Real talk, they don't. They just don't. All cameras sold in the past few years have sufficient resolution to enable all required print sizes for 99.999% of photographers - especially when you consider typical viewing distances.

I am now retired from ‘the life’ and living on a state pension. Needs be that I carry on working by producing boxed sets of my pictures for sale via a Canon imageGRAF-1000 A2 size printer. Now waiting for the arrival of a UPS power supply before plugging in and tuning up. It’s a 12 inker, so I am super excited by the possibilities of either going large or small. At least I now have a choice.

Thought provoking and inspiring. You probe the questions photographers should be asking themselves. Thanks for the exceptional content. You fly high above the rest.

Ha! Wonderful!

Hi Huge, it's always been a pleasure watcing and knowing about your long journey with photographic experiences and I have been enriching my knowledge about photography whenever I come across such exuberance like you people and this time is no exception to this!! To be true, I must say that I never ever tried my hand in printing despite the fact that I have always felt I should, but the circumstances held me back to further my likings to prints which I have always had them from print-houses and that too without from the super professional hands that gave me choices of what they handedover as best they could do!! But I always had an intense affinity to get them as large as I could afford to be printed and the first and foremost reason for larger prints was that they gave me immense pleasure with no other added reasons did I have to get them large!! This was my earliest experiences about photography without any rhyme and reason except that it was my mind's sweet spot to recline on!! As I grew with my world of photography, I started realising what makes a world of difference preferring for larger prints and I am not being the person to enter into any photographic competions, which generally required 8X10 inch prints!! I, like my contemporries who I belive, immensely talented dilettantes at that that time, preferred most of their lazily emphatic needs to be printed not more than 5X3 inches although, I always opined that they should enlarge their some pictures to be printed as large as 16X20 inch but did they take little care to my likings when I, in those days, be not surprised or take aback what I'm going to reveal about the size I'll now hate the most, preferred to the size of 10X12 inches at the most because the size permitted my empty pocket the mostt!! I saw afterward that larger prints have so much to do with whetting your photographic skills: they bring out the areas where I lack to be improved and improvements have no limits despite the enormopus touch of divine pleasure they really imart to at leat one soul that always starts with me!! Thanks a lot for the contribution to my vision towards photography!! Be safe and sound!!

Oh, I am all about the print. Did my own in a darkroom early on, then when digital rolled around I bought an Epson Stylus Pro 4800 and printed a ton of images. But the high costs of framing eventually started becoming prohibitive. When we downsized our house a few years back I started using an online service to print on metallic paper with an acrylic finish, or on metal. Our house now is the Dean Allman Photo Gallery, and like you and Claudia I wish we had more wall space. But it is a thrill every time we unbox one of these images. Printing big really shows the content in a much more enthralling way. I am more selective now in what we print, too. All in all I totally support what you are saying here. It really gives expression to your body of work.

My favorite project was printing about 50 8.5 x 5.5 birth announcement for my daughter in the fall of 1976. A pic of mom and baby. A pic of baby’s face. A date. A birth weight.

To complete the artistic exercise, I taught myself to laminate my prints under acrylic (manual cold press easily affordable on the web), or onto a wood sheet (a friend gave me an old heated vacuum press). Working with my hands and the feeling of achieving an extra level of artistry makes the whole process of photography even more enjoyable. Metallic paper and acrylic has allowed me to make my own Peter Lik-ish works of art. I try to print as large as I can on my Epson P800.

I've been printing large format ever since my film days when i had my makeshift darkroom. Back then, as you, I printed 11x14 prints. For a number of years ago I bought a refurbished Epson 3660, which was the precursor to the Surecolor 800, which was itself the precursor to your 900. I often print 17x22 inch prints as gifts for people. Also, I print 8.5x11 thin double-sided paper and use a thermal binder to make a photo book.

As always, I enjoyed your presentation. And this afternoon while I wrapped up scanning black and white 35mm negatives (3:2 aspect ratio) of my grandkids I had photographed a couple of weeks ago, I listened to your thoughts and philosophy on large prints. At this stage I've yet evolved to that point: although, I have given it some thoughts primarily after I retire from my other job and can step out say into gallery work. In the meantime, I do print my work as 8X12 on 11X14 luster photo paper. And when I feel sassy, and I like a particular photograph, I will print it as a13X19, which is as large as I can get at home. I do this for two reasons: first, I haven't completed the process as a photographer until I print one of my works, and second, I told this to my eldest, when I expire, I want my kids, grandkids, great grandkids and onward to have an idea about who I was and ask, 'my gosh what was on his mind when he photographed that'? Thanks again Hugh, do enjoy your presentations.

I've only done 1 "large print" a 24 by 36 inch metal print. It was a photo of a bridge with personal value for me. With the same lenses I've gotten another photo (2 in fact) on a recent trip. I plan to print them the same size and put them at my work. As no more wall space where I currently live. Hopefully I can get something like a 36 by 48 in the future. As that would be something special.

Wonderful episode, lots of ideas… I’ve had several 24x36 canvases printed by various suppliers. Some worked out well, others not so good but I learned from each experience… Printing is a lot to learn, but rewarding to see your work in a physical state rather than a monitor… I’ve never experienced the darkroom, although I’ve always wanted to see what it’s all about… Thank you for sharing your experiences with printing.

I wish I had had a darkroom and learned to print silver gelatin prints years ago but, hey ho, inkjet has (recently) helped fill the loss. I started, struggling with very early Epson inkjet printers and AWFUL ink sets via early photoshop and scans back in the 1990s. God, it was bad. The number of proofs and recorded changes to try to get anything like a decent blue! And the paper. And the (low) resolution. Ugh… … but thank that god for the progress. My Epson 3880 and Canon Pro20s with Fotospeed, Canson or Hahnemulle parts make beautiful A4 prints. Moving to A3+ really does add to some images. And for a small handful using labs like Whitewall for 40”x30” is worth it and makes my photography (entirely personal now with no sales or publications for years) seem so much more worth it. And a total joy!

I really enjoy your philosophy about the importance of printing. I would love it if you got the print shop to sponsor a second video where you get a bit more technical about the process. Minimum megapixel for large crisp prints, DPI, favorite software for processing, Raw vs JPEG shooting, etc. I recently splurged on a Sigma FPL specifically for its potential of producing large prints. Maybe even touch on what kind of lenses you need to fully utilize a high megapixel sensor.

No, you don’t. It’s a function of image size, viewing distance - and the image itself. In our experience given what we do, 20MP is fine for 50” on the long side at normal viewing distance of, say, Claudia’s two poodles. For my 5 FEET on the long side image looking west to Tudor City from 1st Ave. when so much of the image is about architectural detail and texture, 45MP is a starting point. But then you have to consider how much glass you’re willing to carry; whether or not your camera has IBIS… you get the idea.
