The platinum photograph is known to be the most archival way to produce a photographic print. Platinum metal salts are hand coated, and photographically etched into watercolor paper. The platinotype is made to last five hundred to one thousand years.

My specialty is portraiture, specifically large format platinum portraiture. With less than fifty photographers in the world specializing in this type of portraiture, I find satisfaction in educating a public that knows little about platinum photography and the platinotype.
