Print Talk :: photography in Platinum Palladium

Having spent a week in Arizona at Hidden Light, I've made many photography videos behind the scenes at their amazing photo lab. Matt Beaty is not only an interesting photographer, but he is one of the best platinum palladium printers working today.
Platinum palladium is a beautiful alternative process that's made a resurgence in recent years. Warm tones and sharp details are two of the main characteristics. I sat down with Matt to talk about his approach and what he does.

    Oh you gotta do the film stuff again Ted,i miss this kinda content. Film developing,talking about platinum palladium n wet plate collodion stuff. Its something about seeing someone doing it rather than reading it from a book.

    Great series of videos, Ted! Ripping up the rejects at the end resonates with me - it's something most digital (only) photographers will never understand because you can always just hit undo. There's something about tearing up a piece you don't think is representing what you want it to look like. You physically destroy something you might have worked on for days if you mess up the spotting, for instance. It's all part of the process, makes you stronger, makes you work harder and more concentrated!

    Hi Ted, I was looking for something on Pt-Pd prints from you. Finally I found. I am from India. Recently I went to Germany to learn alternative process specially Pt-Pd prints from Mr Wolfgang Moersch, the master printer and producer of photographic chemicals and paper. Now I practice Kalli type at home and hopefully Pt-Pd soon, waiting for the money to buy Platinum. It is a great process and pictures look totally different with different brush stroke and different developers. I would love to see pod casts when he is working specially making large prints. If possible show us something on making large prints in Pt-Pd.

    I can follow the make a negative from a digital file. Almost 50 years ago I had huge color prints made from 35 mm transparencies by having a 4x5" internegative made and having C prints made from that. So, this process makes sense to me. I watched your other video on Hidden Light, got curious, and watched their KZread videos, and sent them an email. I've gotten an idea that's exciting that I want to pursue this next year. * No response from my email. I'll try again.

    So, How exactly do I get going in this? How do I go from taking an image from Photoshop, to making a Palladium print? What gear do I need and where can I get that gear? Alternatively, what's the cheapest route to shoot 8x10 negatives? Don't want to spend a couple grand on a view camera I don't end up using...Thanks!

    Dave Wilson maybe that should be our next video with Ted! Cheapest way would be to grab yourself a 6x9 medium format, shoot b/w 120 film, then grab the beginner kit from Bostick & Sullivan and start making tiny little baby prints to see if you like it!

    If you have an inkjet or laser printer, then sort out your negative in Photoshop (there are a few tutorials on KZread for various contact printing processes), and print it on an appropriate OHP transparency (top tip from a former college IT tech - don't put an inkjet transparency through a laser printer or vice versa, the results range from messy to serious fire hazard, by way of expensive).
