Platinum! in Large Format Posted February 23, 2002 Dear Nathan, Came across your notions and questions about platinum printing when I searched the web through a search engine for my own new site Platinumportraits.com Not on the search engines yet, though have a look at the site if you like to see what I'm at here in London England. I just love making portraits of men in their later years, and without a doubt, platinum palladium on watercolour paper, 30inches by 20, gives a depth and presence that I just don't get with silver. As someone else remarked, silver gives great brilliance, but to convey the quietness I love in my portraits, Platinum's the thing. I've never tried to print platinum myself; I'm lucky to know a painter in Gloucester England who spends some of his time printing platinum. Lucky me! John-David Biggs, Platinumportraits.com
