Introduction to Platinum Palladium Printing

Join us at LightBox Photographic Gallery for an exciting event where you'll learn all about the art of platinum palladium printing! This hands-on workshop will cover everything from preparing your materials to creating stunning prints. Whether you're a seasoned photographer or just starting out, this event is perfect for anyone looking to add a unique touch to their work. Don't miss out on this opportunity to explore a timeless printing process and unleash your creativity!

During the Friday evening reception, participants will have the chance to engage with fellow students and the instructor with a class introduction, setting the stage for an immersive learning experience. On Saturday, students will embark on the main course, where they will learn step-by-step techniques for creating stunning prints using the Platinum Palladium process. 

From digital negatives to coating and exposing paper, students will learn about every stage of the printing process. Through demonstrations and personalized guidance, participants will develop the skills and confidence to produce their own exquisite prints. 

As a highlight of the course, each student will have the opportunity to create one or more prints from one of their own images, putting their newfound knowledge into practice under the guidance of their experienced instructor. 

This course does not cover the intricacies of creating digital negatives. The focus remains on mastering the essential skills required to produce stunning Platinum Palladium prints.

Note: Enrollment will be limited to a maximum of six participants. Students are asked to submit one image file that will be prepared as a digital negative, two weeks in advance of the class. 

Paul Cunningham is an Oregon-based photographer and owner of The Cunningham Press. Paul has been engaged in Platinum Palladium printing for over ten years and his prints are sold around the world.
