VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Here’s another one of them “Making a Fine Art Photography Print” videos I like to do. But you know what I don’t like? The term “fine art.” Lemme grab my ascot and pipe because I be getting all sorts of pretentious dropping “fine art” to describe my own work. “Oh, this photo I took? Yes, it’s art…FINE art.” Bleh. Yuck. But what am I supposed to do, call it “average art”? You can see the dilemma I’m in here.
Whatever you want to call it, I love making framed prints. It’s the best. I don’t get a chance to do it very often, so when I do get the chance, you bet your ass I’m going to make a video about it. And this one’s extra fantastic because I actually made TWO fine art prints this time. Huh? What? No, can’t be. TWO? That’s more than any one photographer can handle. It’s impossible.
I’m telling the truth, friends…TWO PRINTS. And you know what’s even better? One of them is a pigment print on Hahnemühle photo rag paper while the other is a c-type print on Fuji Crystal Archive Pearl Paper. So we’re going to look at how these bad boys compare. Two different printing technologies, two different papers, one 6x17 negative on Kodak Portra 160 film.
Let’s dive into it.
