John Guider/Stacey Irvin Visit


1. The platinum printing process John Guider uses simply enhances the quality of the photos he takes. Guider is very unique and only a few photographers use this extraordinary method. While original prints of photos are very sensitive to light, the platinum Guider uses attain 100 values of light. This method does wonders to the photos!
2. The values (scale from black to white) that Guider uses in his photo are absolute extraordinary. He taught me that there are 100 color values when an image is created with the platinum printing process. The photos almost have a three-dimensional look to them because of the large range of colors the platinum printing process offers. They shades of the color grey he uses in some of his photos really stand out in terms of value.
3. Stacey Irvin is also a talented photographer with more of a different style than Guider. By listening to Stacey Irvin talk, her traveling around the world has definitely had a positive effect. She really loves exploring other cultures venues, and it shows in the lovely photos she takes.
