Photography today is confusing. When you purchase a photograph either online or from an Artist at an Art Show, can you be sure of what you're buying? Today, photographers are producing their art in a varity of ways. Some examples are:

    1.   Photographs are taken with film and the film is scanned to a computer and into a software product such as photoshop. In photoshop, the image is sometimes manipulated before being printed via an inkjet printer onto Digital Photo paper for sale.

    2.   A second technique I'm seeing more and more these days is a film negative is scanned as in the first example and then the digital file is shipped to a company where it is printed onto canvas, much like a painting.

    3.   A third technique is simply to take a digital picture with a digital camera. The image is loaded onto a computer and via Photoshop, Aperature, or Lightroom software, the final image is printed via inkjet printers onto Digital photo/Inkjet paper. 

    4.   Some photographers also offer a mix of Silver Gelatin and Digital Inkjet photographs for sale. The Silver Gelatin work is sold as an Original and is more expensive. The Digital work is sold as a copy of the original at a cheaper price, thus making the work available to a wider audiance with varying budgets. 
    
I only produce Silver Gelatin photographs. All of the photographs I offer for sale, either framed or matted and wrapped, are true Silver Gelatin images. Each is created individually by hand in a Traditional "Wet Tray" Darkroom.
