The Salt Print dates back to 1839, it is the process invented by William Fox Talbot to rendered positive prints from his Calotype (Talbotype) paper negatives. The salt print is one of the more difficult process that fall within the genre of historical photography, it is very labour intensive but it produces beautiful and delicate photographs with good separation of tones. The Salt Prints within this gallery are a combination of both bodies of work and individual stand alone images.

Each salt print is hand crafted, using raw chemicals to form a light sensitive solution brushed onto high quality water colour paper (hence the brush strokes around the edge of the print), exposed using sunlight or other UV source,  gold toned, fixed and washed to ensure archival longevity. Prints are mounted on acid free museum or conservation board and come complete with an acid free over matt. Due to the labour intensive nature of this process editions are limited to no more than 10 prints.

Framed prints are fully sealed, come with an off white over matt, with normal glass and have an outside dimension of 810mm x 700mm and are wall mountable using mirror plates. Smaller frame and mount sizes are available.
