Synopsis
Carlos Barrantes, a master of printing and historical processes, gives us a step-by-step guide to platinum/palladium printing. In his laboratory in Perpignan, he carefully explains his preparations and manipulations, giving an artist's perspective on his choices and decisions. As a craftsman, he is as visually sensitive as the sheets he uses are to light. And he sublimates each photograph into a unique print.
