- Washington photographer Jim Fitzgerald builds his own large format cameras and creates black and white carbon transfer photographs of nature.
“You make a handmade, one-of-a-kind print that is the most archival print you can create. They’re the most beautiful prints that you can ever imagine.”

Love to see other artists obsessed with our amazing forests. Loved learning about this process here. Great images!
Kristen, thanks very much. I never run out of subject matter that's for sure.
Thanks for all of the great comments. In this segment I was shooting my smallest camera, my 8x10. I hope to eventually do some videos when I shoot my 8x20 and 14x17.
Very interesting. Thank you for sharing his work.
Suzie, I was so honored that they selected me for a segment.
Lovely work, Jim. Thank you for sharing your work and philosophy with us.
George, my pleasure.
This is inspirational photography. Ansel would have approved.
Thank you. That is a wonderful comment.
I'd never heard of this process before. Stunning work and passion, from building the camera to rinsing the print. Thank you all!
The true Kallitype is reputedly the most difficult photographic process ever invented. Be an artist and try it?
Amanda thank you. Carbon printing is complex but very doable. In my workshops
i go over everything.
Remarkable
Kathleen, thank you.
Lovely images. Wonderful work. Great that he is passing it on. But it bugs me when photographers go on about prints lasting for generations. A common office laser print lays down almost pure carbon. If you put good quality paper through it it will be just as archival - but we don't rave about it. You could also use a carbon based inkjet system if you wanted tones. Remember the library at Alexander burnt down on multiple occasions so being a unique object is a risky thing. More likely the print will be destroyed or lost or discarded than fade! So from an archival point of view, identical copies in multiple locations is best.
The reason these prints are so precious is actually their uniqueness, vulnerability and that they invite you to look after them, not the permanence of the technology.
very interesting, how does this process work?
What can I say? 📷👌
He's doing amazing things! How is it all financed?
Pretty sure it isn't. People just do it for the fun of doing it.
@@Drpftnst Still the equipment and materials do not look inexpensive. As an artist, I'm typically curious about it all.
@@michelineronningen9891 well other than the camera, the cost of a sheet of 8x10 is only $6. Costs about $3 in chemistry to develop. I haven't done a carbon transfer so I can't say the cost of the paper+ gelatin, but I'm sure it no more than a combined $30. He's not really doing this every single day I'd image. But it is a lot of work I know that much.
@@michelineronningen9891 if you're interested in these alternative photographic processes, look on RUclips for "platinum palladium printing" and "wet plate photography"
@@Drpftnst Thanks Robert.
How many Megapixel??🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍 Viele Grüße aus Germany
It is terapixels.
I bet he sees digital full frame photography or even medium format as a cheap child's play , and to be fair he's right to believe so.
Whatever gets you there. For me it will always be large sheets of film.
