One image. Multiple papers. Completely different results.
In this video Tim takes a single wildlife photograph and walks through his full decision-making process when choosing the right paper for print. Rather than looking for a paper that simply “matches the screen”, this workflow is all about finding the paper that best suits the image.
Along the way I’ll explain why certain papers work better for specific images, how paper choice can completely change the viewing experience, and why there is rarely one “correct” answer in fine art printing.
Papers featured in this video:
* NST Bright White fotospeed.com/nst-bright-white-315.html
* Platinum Etching Cotton fotospeed.com/fotospeed-platinum-etching-cotton-310.html
* Smooth Cotton fotospeed.com/smooth-cotton-300.html
* PF Lustre fotospeed.com/pf-lustre-275.html
If you’ve ever struggled choosing between matte, gloss, baryta or textured papers, this video should help you think differently about the printing process.
Let me know in the comments:
