FREDERICK USING 150-YEAR OLD PROCESS TO CREATE FINE ART PRINTS
Award winning fine art photographer Richard Frederick is using a photographic process that is over
150 years old to create stunning black & white photographic prints with
exceptional clarity and tonal separation. Using a custom mixture that he
creates in his darkroom with Platinum*, Palladium* and other chemicals, he hand
coats specialized papers with this emulsion to render them sensitive to light.
The latent image is formed on the sensitized paper by placing a negative in contact with it 
and exposing this “sandwich” under an intense light source rich in
ultraviolet content. The exposed paper is then taken into the darkroom where it
is developed in a different chemical mixture. Palladium prints are highly
archival (meaning they will never fade) and are treasured by many fine art collectors.
Frederick also produces large color prints that are printed on
canvas and other media.
