A platinum image will outlast the paper on which it is printed.

Patented in 1873 by Willard Willis, Platinum printing is an entirely hand made process that exceeds all others in physical beauty and longevity.

This unique, time-honored process produces images that vary in color and intensity from warm dark browns to cold neutral blacks depending on the proportions of the metals mixed and used. Because it consists of pure metal, the platinum process is one of the most stable and archival of any in photography. Unlike other processes where the image is printed on a surface applied to paper, a platinum image is literally embedded in the paper itself.

While there are a handful of photographers in the country who practice platinum photography, we are one of the only studios to offer this rare and exquisite form of photography to our clients.
