This is a long process using several layers of color in order to build up the image. Due to the complexity of accurately registering each layer, the print created is unique. This one-off print was photographed then printed on thick textured photographic paper (320 gsm, Acid-free, Museum quality paper for highest age resistance ). Here is this signed giclé print with an exceptional resolutions. Numbered by artist with certificate of authenticity, unframed Edition : 1/8. Ian Sanderson (born 1951 Scotland, died 2020 Spain) was a Scottish photographer. Ian produced images over a 35 year career. For most he worked as both a Commercial and Fine Art photographer; during his last years concentrated on his personal archive. Ian and his partner have worked for many years with alternative printing techniques, Platinum Palladium, Silver Gelatin, Lith or Gum Bichromate. This culminated in a large retrospective exhibition in Barcelona which was sponsored by the Nando and Elsa Peretti Foundation. Platinum Palladium printing is a traditional photographic technique which precedes silver gelatin prints technique. Many photographers have worked with it in the past as Irvin Penn, Manuel Alvarez Bravo, Robert Mapplethorpe, Sebastiao Salgado o Ormond Gigli with its Platinum with gold leaf print 'Girls in the Windows'. For this type of print, the original Platinum Palladium technique is more advanced by adding another precious metal that only a handful of artists in the world have the expertise to practice it today. Ian Sanderson Studio works with silver or gold leafs depending on the desired rendering. These precious metals bring longevity and rarity to the print but also a tonal range and depth unmatched by digital printers which are valued by collectors. Bichromate prints are more originals by the way that each print is unique Ian Sanderson studio continues to create rare and personalised pieces thanks to the work of Ian's life partner.
