Great to see Roberto at work. He's done a magnificent print for me too (from a wet plate original). If you're a photographer and haven't tried Pl/Pd, it's a must, the prints are exquisite. Thanks for making this Paul.
Dear Paul - this documentary is just awesome. Not only loving your photography, which is so inspiring to me, but also to watch the „birth“ of a PtPd is amazing. I did my first b/w prints by myself some 40 years ago, having a long time of digital agnony in my photographic live, I agree 100% to you - once seen a PtPd print I got so obsessed in doing my own PtPd prints. It is like having opened a new door to a new area in my photography and I am feeling like the little kid standing in front of a toys shop, pushing my nose to the window, still not being brave enough to enter the shop, but being sure more and more by each day…it is just amazing and I wanted to thank you for that. In addition, the film on the printing itself is a piece of art per se and there are few others around on TH-cam which are similar in that sense…again: thanks for that! Appreciate your work so much. Thanks for kicking my butt!
What a great video, and makes you want to be there too, and watch this interesting process. If ever I get an image worth printing this way, I'll fly to England to watch it too. Thank you to both of you.
Awesome video and so cool to showcase such a beautiful printing process. Hope Leica picks this video up and posts it on their channels as well so more people can learn about platinum palladium printing and Paul’s work
Great video, thank you. On your recommendation I have just used Roberto for some prints I needed as the lab I used to use closed down. Quick turnaround, great communication, and excellent results. Now bookmarked for future use.
Very interesting - always looking for how to get a bit beyond the digital file. I used to print back in the film era but haven’t for probably 35 years now. I do still print hundreds of images on A3+ if only to stop the kids pressing ‘delete all’ when I have myself been deleted. I am starting to experiment with tracing papers and other delicate media but this is another angle - many thanks 🙏
Pure platinum prints are not the easiest to do in my experience and I think it has to be the right image. The palladium helps with those smooth gradations, specially in the highlights. I would be interested in seeing some of your pure platinum prints. Always keen on learning.
I was researching PP printing awhile back on TH-cam....but it was all with real photo negatives as a source. Can someone tell me how they "printed a negative" from the digital image? It appears they somehow printed on cellophane or some other clear plastic? Thanks in advance...I shoot a LOT with my M10M, and would be quite interested if I could somehow prints some from it with Platinum Palladium.....I just don't know what that intermediate step is to produce a physical negative from digital.
Awesome video Paul thanks for sharing, love those results. I see some of my work in print every day in the paper, but I'm totally guilty of not printing my own work. My excuse is I'm far too busy out shooting which to be fair is kind of true I generally shoot so much and move quickly onto the next shoot rarely looking back at what I've done. Saying all the above I printed out a couple of shots I taken on the Q, just to see what they looked like enlarged. On the plus side I'm now committed to printing much more on then down side I'll have less coin to splash on old cameras. Give n take I guess. Subbed too mate cheers

Thanks so much for your kind words! I’m so pleased. I hope that the videos inspire you
This is an amazing little documentary. I'm obsessed by my Q2M, and know I feel the urge to try this process out. Thanks to Paul & Roberto!
Thanks so much

Fantastic! So glad you have some platinum palladium prints. Beautiful process
Superbe!!! As a Q2 monochrom shooter I love the way the file is turned into a négative to be able to print it like this.
Thanks so much
Great video “Shoot to print” nice catch phrase!
Thanks so much for watching the video! Platinum Palladium is magic
What a fantastic process to reveal the full potential of B&W camera like the Q2M. When I get my bucket shot, I'll sure make it ;-)
Thanks so much
So well done Paul, really interesting video
Thanks very much
Great video and thanks for sharing this process.
Thanks so much for watching
Love it, a eye opener ‼️thanks Paul
Glad you enjoyed it

Fantastic!!! I’m glad you’re experimenting
how much such a single print costs? I like the way the brush creates the frame, no single one will be the same 🙂
Google R J Print lab platinum palladium prints. There is a price list on there
Very interesting, I am looking forward to buy my Q2 !!
Hello Paul....nice platinum palladium prints!! Have you ever tried piezography Digital negatives and pure platinum prints? : P
Never tried it no. I’ve tried platinum and silver gelatin
Pure platinum prints are not the easiest to do in my experience and I think it has to be the right image. The palladium helps with those smooth gradations, specially in the highlights. I would be interested in seeing some of your pure platinum prints. Always keen on learning.
A captivating video.What file do you use to start with a jpeg,dng etc? , sorry if I missed it.Cheers Paul.
Thanks so much. I use a Tiff file for the negative
I can print from any file, however the more information I receive the better the negative and the better the print..I always favour a 16 Bit RGB Tif.
It is the best quality in terms of artistic appreciation how much does he charge for a 16x20 print B&W, here in the USA it's about 650 US dollars
It’s certainly a more costly process. He has his prices on his website rjprintlab.com
@@paulreidphotography thanks he has a beautiful web page and the pricing is better than across the pond

I guess we can’t print everything. It’s not cheap. Thanks very much for watching and subscribing
@@paulreidphotography all gds mate ava gud un
Great videos. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you like them!
How does the picture negative get the dark border around it?
It’s because the solution is painted on which creates a black border around the image
This was great, very informative.
Thanks so much
Looks class would love to
Try this
Thanks so much rjprintlab.com will be happy to help
@@paulreidphotography Thank you.I love your work Paul you have great talent well done.
I've developed a digital projection enlarger the silver prints are stunning. I don't care much about the camera if the prints are great.
Simply Stunning ....
Thanks so much
SO Exciting... So fascinating... thank you for this video :)
Thanks so much
Love it❤❤❤
Thanks so much
Top!!
Thanks so much
Web searching how to make a digital negative.
That’s slightly more complicated than it initially seems. Rjprintlab.com does workshops that teach the entire process
I shoot to print always!
❤
Lovely
Thanks so much
Crushed it!
Thanks so much
Nice but far too expensive.
Very expensive indeed. But beautiful.
