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.

My name is Ted Forbes and I make videos about photography. I’ve been making photographs most of my life and I have a tremendously deep passion for photography that I want to share with you on KZread.
The Art of Photography is my channel and I produce photography videos to provide a 360 degree look into the world of making images. We all want to get better so lets do this together!
I make videos covering famous photographers, photography techniques, composition, the history of photography, philosophy and much more.
I also have a strong community of photographers who watch the show and we frequently do social media challenges for photographers to submit their own work. I feature the best and most interesting on the show when we do these so come check it out and get involved!

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.
This series on Hidden Light inspires me so much, my own dark room was dismantled 2 years ago, my enlarger is held together with clothes pegs.. but after watching these video I remember how much fun I had making prints, and I want to do it all again!
Awesome! Matt's one of the most genuinely nice folks, nice to see him get some pub.
This is definitely something I need to start learning how to do! I love the hands-on approach!
It all makes sense why you were doing all of the travelling, and why you were so inactive for the past couple of weeks in youtube Ted! I am really enjoying this print series!
Loved this whole series! So pumped to print right now!!!

yea, same here
more videos with these guys please!..love the ethos of that studio. . amazing bunch of people!
I have just recently stepped into the awesome world of analog photography. I got myself a nikon F3 and some film and I'm almost done with my first roll. I'm also going to get everything I need to start developing myself, at least for b&w. I just want to thank you for the awesome work you do to inspire and help all of us to go beyond our limits and get to know and love this beautiful form of art. Thank you Ted.
I am fascinated by Platin palladium printing since a year now so I am very glad to get some real information about it. Thank you!
This series on Hidden Light has been incredible. I've done a small amount of darkroom work and love seeing these guys in wirk. So Interesting! Please do more of it.
Wish it was a little more affordable but it defiantly looks worth it once I can save enough!! This series was awesome!!

I love this kind of stuff. I like to try everything. First I need a pic worthy of the whole journey. So, it's kind of Gonzo. That fine with me.
Ted, yet another wonderful video Ted. Really interesting and thought provoking (ie, I want to print :)). Thanks for posting and these guys are super to watch. "Will it accept the chemistry" Love it.
I love printing, and love this printing videos!
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!
Ted loving the raw style you have in the filming of this series of videos.
Awesome bunch of guys, and a great to video to watch after exiting my own darkroom! Prints are where its at.
Awesome series of videos Ted...those guys up in Flagstaff are amazing!
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.
More of these videos please. These are so good
david slowly walking behind is gold xD at 6:45 its just perfect
Thanks Ted for three days a great video content. I would love to go to Flagstaff and learn in this studio.
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.
Made a point of visiting Hidden Light when in Flagstaff a year or so ago. They couldn't have been nicer or more informative. Recommended!
Great video Ted. Great to learn about the alternative process.
Great as always!
But how do I convince my mom to buy me a deeper pixel camera for Christmas?

A lot of sharp comment in this vid.
The drive from Flag to Phoenix is beautiful until you get there........then you have to drive through PHX to get to Sky Harbor. Just stay north. Great series of videos Ted, really enjoyed every minute. I must go there next time I'm out west. I would love to do some of my images in palladium.
Hey Ted, Do you think you could do a video on different styles of log-booking for film. As well as logbooks you can buy. Thanks
Ripping up the prints at the end...ouch my heart ❤️ Safe travels Ted :)
At 14:45 Never hard of Piezography printing. Looked it up and wow, seems awesome.
Loving the new videos Ted!
I think Matt is a worthy choice. I am not versed in this kind of stuff, but I like the attitude.

- no, we're going to try this four or five times, so we know..
I want to meet Matt B. so bad!!! Also, I want his job. Holy crap that's my dream job.
fantastic! thanks!
Thanks for another cool video! Is that David Brookover walking around in the background?
Do you use warm developer on the paper? Or you use the warm the powder of the developer to make the liquid solution?
Only wish there was a lab like this one in my neck of the woods in the Uk...
Ted can you link the image you guys were discussing about, using the Japanese brushes?
Awesome series out there. You should look up a studio in Australia called ‘Gold Street Studios’ they do some amazing stuff with alternative process
I want to learn platinum palladium printing now!!!!
Thanks Ted, really cool video. A discussion with some people who love what they do, that is great content!!! ;-)
Hey Ted! What happened to photo assignments? I have a high school intro to digital photography class and show many of your videos to them. They asked if we can participate in you photo assignments and it made complete sense. Was hoping to see a new assignment after Thanksgiving????
Great video forbes, as always, BTW WHAT CAMERA you are using now,(Panasonic?!!! , we can see so deep in your eyes , i am serious )
Added to the bucket list. Go to Hidden Light, nerd out, and learn lots.

Sorry, didn't hear anything after "Do you moisturise?"🤣 🤣 🤣 Otherwise a great talk!
What printer, ink, and film do you use to make a digital negative ? Whar are recommended papers ?
@MattatHiddenLight

Steaphany we’re using Epson printers, stock ink (or PiezoDN) and Pictorico transparency material.
Are there innovative ways to get the same kind of digital colour grade prints that you can get from dye transfer prints? Monochrome at this moment is thriving but I really want colour to get another breakthrough, atm it's kinda meh.
🤣 The ending reminded me of Art School and an instructor named Phillip Becker. 😆 Anybody know him?
there is a detail i don't get. when covering the digital negative that sits on top of the emulsionated paper, with the glass... if you cover something shinny with a glass you get the so called "newton rings". how do you avoid that??? please
Do you guys have a website? so I can I order some prints?
Another cool video. The commercial photographer I worked for/taught me said he used to buy his Kodak Slides in big batches and notice color changes between the batches. So maybe consistency has gone down hill - but I guess it was never perfect...
Nice :)
Don't beat the table
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).
Black shirts . . .
Interesting media, but I found this video content could have been conveyed in 2-3 minutes.
Awesome bunch of guys, and a great to video to watch after exiting my own darkroom! Prints are where its at.
