Film images are converted to digital files using high-end scanners capable of extracting all the nuanced detail and colors contained on the original piece of film.
Photographers have struggled throughout history with the inability of their tools to fully record the incredible range of tones and detail that nature provides, and the human eye can discern. I use today's digital processes and tools to overcome these limitations, mimicking traditional chemical darkroom techniques by making adjustments to contrast, brightness, and color saturation to produce an expressive print, as near to what I saw and felt at the moment the shutter tripped as possible. I view my photography as traditional, therefore I do not add anything to the image, nor use unusual filtration or digital compositing. What you see in the print was there when I made the image.
Printing is done using professional archival inks and papers. We are fortunate that technological advances allow us to reproduce the images in sizes, formats, and on materials that were not available to the great photographers of the past, all with the result that the art is much more accessible for enjoyment.
