OUR
CURRENT EXHIBIT
3x4x5 A Unique Look
Platinum Prints by Ian Leake
June 23 - August 3, 2009
Our next gallery show features a conceptual presentation of the images
of Photo Continuum member Ian Leake. Ian tells us, "I've
been planning a set of handmade artist's books for a while now, and I
am using these as the basis for the exhibit." The three
different books will be released in only six limited-edition copies of
each. These 7"x7" books have between six and ten
beautifully executed and themed 4x5 platinum prints in each
one. Ian's show will have three sections, with each section
presenting the sequence of platinum prints in one of the books.
This leads to the show's title "3x4x5 A Unique
Look."
Beginning June 23 and running through August 3, we invite you to share
in Ian's vision and take notice of his special craftsmanship in what I
would describe as "high-key" printing. From the very
beginning of a photo session, Ian works with his models as partners,
collaborating as a team to accomplish the final prints which we see
presented. We think this series attains that certain photographic
approach that celebrates life and femininity.

for the Photo Continuum Website. Click on the "Main Gallery"
tab later this month to view Ian's show.

WORKSHOPS
Platinum/Palladium
Workshop for Cameras Large & Small
Ray Bidegain & Patrick Kolb
Inversnaid Photography Centre, Scotland
June 14-19,2009
Stay at a romantic hunting lodge near
Loch Lomond in Scotland while studying platinum/palladium print making.
Over six days, you will master the skills necessary to produce fine
platinum/palladium prints at a reasonable cost.
For most of the history of platinum printing, photographers needed
large-camera negatives. While we follow and honor that tradition, we
are also able to use negatives from smaller cameras and digital files
to make platinum prints. During this workshop, we present additional
instruction in the making of enlarged digital negatives for platinum
printing. Come learn this contemporary approach to this timeless
process.
Price of £718 includes VAT, all accommodations and
meals, and tuition during workshop. Chemicals and paper are extra to
fee, allow approximately £30. Class is limited to eight participants.
