Digital Images – Platinum Prints

This little video really makes me want my dark room back. It was while printing in the darkroom that I decided that I wanted to be a photographer. I LOVE this stuff. The smell of the chemicals, the hands on tactile part of the art, and the visual depth of the images on paper that can not be reproduced on a video monitor. It blends my love of science and art. I think this is just a beautifully shot video that Luís Oliveira Santos put together. It’s also a great example of how video from the 5D Mk2 can look when shot understanding the limits it can be taken to with proper lighting and post. Have a look and let me know what you think?
