Post Production and Print Service
December 11, 2009
We now offer a fully managed Print Process service here at the studio. We have recently worked on a series of C-Type Prints for an exhibition by Brighton based photographer Alex Bamford. Alex works on very long exposures at night and shoots digital (for this series) and needed someone to manage the process of obtaining colour matched prints, and ensure that his final files and prints were colour perfect and free from any digital noise, artefacts etc. Long exposure digital files tend to suffer from excessive noise and very dense reds, this was an issue in particular with the images where Alex uses several mixed light sources- as he wanted to avoid unnecessary colour casts in the prints.
Kevin worked with Alex from both the Raw Files and some of the final Tiffs on our colour matched displays and with just three or four evening meetings we had a complete batch of exhibition files for Printing. We recommend a number of different labs depending on the print, finish and mount etc- but the benefit of our service is that we work closely with any end printer to obtain the results that you are happy with. In this instance Alex decided we would print with Spectrum, an excellent pro lab based in Hove. All final prints were approved by Alex after test strips and samples had been made.
At the end of the job, Alex received all his print ready Master files on DVD. If you’d like to see the prints in person then they are on display in The Eagle pub Brighton.
We charge all post work on your files at £45 pr hr, with a free initial consultation to discuss your print needs. Kevin is a very experienced Printer/Retoucher having run North Laine Photography Studio for over 18 months and has printed exhibitions for Roger Bamber, Miss Aniela and DarkDaze amongst others. There is no minimum on work we will undertake, even if you only have 1 file that you just cant get right, then we’ll be happy to help.
We have included some of Alexs work below as we love what he is doing and it really is an excellent series and we recommend you go and see it soon.
