When I first came here, some 15 years ago, I was still shooting with film which had to be processed in the nearest professional E6 laboratory….which was a two hour drive away. With the processing time and the drive back, the day was gone. The magic of digital photography has allowed me to carry on producing pictures, from the heart of the French countryside, and Photoshop has given me the magic of the darkroom without the gloom and the chemicals. Because of these wonders I have amassed a great quantity of pictures but, up to now, had not found an efficient and attractive way to share them with people and to offer them for sale in a professional way. In recent years, through my son Sam Stowell, I came to hear of the Print Space in London and, on researching them, was very impressed with what I saw.They have now opened The Hub, which acts as a gallery where photographers, such as myself, can show and sell their work. Print Space produces the prints, be they giclé or C-Type, on a wonderful range of papers (including Hahnemuhle) and, if you so choose, offers a multiplicity of framing options and sorts out delivery…a total package.
Currently, I have only organised one gallery of seascapes but I am busy putting together a variety of different galleries which will feature those things that make my life such a pleasure..food, photography and France.
How exciting, I love your shots, can’t wait to see more. I always thought you are a bit of a tease with your blogs. Most of us go crazy with 10-15 shots & you always just have 1-2 perfect ones
Thanks for that…not for suggesting that I’m a tease..:)
I love your photos!
Many thanks for that, Rebecca…:)
I’m glad you’ll get to display your work even further. You really are a talent.
Hey…it was worth posting this;)
Hi Roger – thanks for posting this and I hope you keep us posted. At present I have a very gloomy outlook on print sales – I think they kinda have ‘gone away.’ I wish it weren’t so, but….
Best wishes – christian
I’ll keep you in touch, Christian..let’s see:)
Thanks!!! 🙂
What a great space to sell your amazing work. I heard that Hahnemuehle has great papers. Do I understand that your were shooting E6, and it will be processed C-type , so originally shot on slide film? It is often very hard to get really satisfying results on prints on paper.
What I was saying is that I used to shoot film before digital arrived on the scene, as did all photographers. All the images in the galleries are shot on digital and the prints produced by Print Space are fantastic.
I’ve use Print Space a few times and they get a big thumbs up from me 😉
Excellent…I’m glad to hear that from you MD…cheers
The printing is excellent and the staff are very helpful – they seem far more relaxed than the old labs dealing with chemicals.
my son uses them for his portefolio and the prints that I’ve seen are excellent..
I thought I’d never see the day where digital black and white looked like chlorobromide paper, let alone platinum with a high silver content, but the modern digital papers from Kodak and Ilford are amazing.
I’d never thought of printing BW…I shall keep this in mind…thanks MD
I never thought they’d get the quality of black (digitally) that you get with the silver in old paper, but I’m very pleasantly surprised to be proved wrong.
Great fork!
It was my Dad’s…God knows why I say that as he never carved a roast to my knowledge…so it was my Mum’s:)
