Sarah 2 ' - Signed limited edition archival pigment print - Edition of 5 Photographed in Brighton, England in 1989 This image was captured on film. The negative was scanned creating a digital file which was then printed on Hahnemühle Photo Rag Baryta archival paper using pigment inks which are known for their longevity. Signed + numbered by artist with certificate of authenticity, unframed Ian Sanderson (born 1951 Scotland, died 2020 Spain) was a Scottish photographer. He produced images over a 35 year career, and in recent years used archival techniques to produce his prints. For most of his career he worked as both a Commercial and Fine Art photographer, and during his last years concentrated on his personal imagery. Towards the end of his life journey, Ian was reviving with his partner two 19th century printing techniques, Platinum Palladium and Gum Bichromate ( one-of-a-kind pieces). This culminated in a large retrospective exhibition in Barcelona which was sponsored by the 'Nando and Elsa Peretti Foundation’. The Platinum and Palladium prints are particularly interesting as he printed them onto ‘vellum’, and bonded pure gold or silver to the back of the prints ( every print is therefore a unique and timeless piece of art). Ian created rare and customized pieces and each piece was totally original and a “one-off”. Ian Sanderson was one of only a handful of artists worldwide producing this type of work. Nowadays, Ian’s partner continues their work and she’s still creating prints. categories : Black and white photography, 20th. century, Archival print, Sensual, Nude, woman, figurative, fashion, Grainy, Photographic film, Analogue, Analog, Aesthetic photo, Large-scale, Timeless
